    Seasick, as it’s the boat’s motion that is affecting you.

      What if I’m driving on a boat and get sick?

        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? 🤔

        Or a bay or a sound?

    Are there car ferries where you are allowed to stay inside the car? O.o

      We have a few here for really short trips. They’re basically river crossings

      Yes. I’ve sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.

      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

      Much easier to deal with than stillness sickness.

        Also known as ADHD.

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