Motion sickness is said to be caused by a disorder of the inner ear. It can make you feel like your spinning in circles and very weak and nauseated. Some folks are more prone to experience it then others. It is said the position you hold your head and where you are, at can make a big difference on a ship or riding in the car. A friend who loves cruises told me she stays in the middle of the boat where there is less motion going on, for any ship big or small, has a constant roll or pitch to it depending on the size of the waves.
When riding in the car, it is best to sit in the front seat where the view is steady and clear. Also keep a window cracked open to get fresh air. As a child I was always fighting motion sickness when riding in the car. I would bring crackers to settle my stomach and celery and carrots, to eat and have my side window open. I hated it when we went on vacation and I was sick most of the time. Luckily I out grew it and can now ride without feeling nauseated, and even read a book.
The best medications for motion sickness, is Dramamine, and I read recently that ground gingerroot capsules will help prevent motion sickness. Also ginger tea is said to be helpful for some people. Tips include staying calm and avoid nasty odors and try to think of something else to occupy your mind.
