Boats are where your optimism goes to be tested. You've tried the ferry, you've considered the cruise, and somewhere between the dock and open water your body registered a formal complaint. The sea is beautiful — horizontally, from land.
What this pattern usually means
Water is your trigger — boats, ferries, swells. The good news: seasickness is the most preparable kind. Cabin position, deck level, and where you look at the waves all measurably matter.

The other seven types
The types are a friendly layer over a real instrument: the test behind them scores the validated Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire (MSSQ, Golding 2006), which has moderate predictive validity — a self-assessment, not a diagnosis. Frequent or severe symptoms are worth discussing with a clinician. Dizzout is the drug-free sound-therapy option from Kinda Smart Inc.
