Are there car ferries where you are allowed to stay inside the car? O.o
If you're on a car ferry and get nauseous, are you carsick or seasick?

We have a few here for really short trips. They’re basically river crossings
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes. I’ve sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.
Airazz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, it’s mostly the ones where the trip is very short, like under an hour. Also the ones where the car deck is open.

Yep, in Australia we have a fair few Punts (aka cable ferries) for river crossings in a car, like the Putney Punt (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortlake_Ferry) that crosses the Parramatta River.

I just lump it all together with motion sickness

Ferrysick

Both. But mostly you’re sick of being in a car with your family (IME)

What if your on a river or lake, as opposed to a sea?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Seasick, as it’s the boat’s motion that is affecting you.

What if I’m driving on a boat and get sick?
PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Fun fact. One (anecdotal) way of relieving sea sickness is to start driving the boat.
There could be something to it, too. You’d be focusing your eyes on the water and anticipating the motions.

What if the ferry is only on a lake or a river? 🤔
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Or a bay or a sound?
