I got seasick from day 1.  The cruise ship was old and one of the stabilizers broke and it was so choppy even seasoned cruisers were struggling.  I also felt very trapped and things felt dirty.  Then on the last day I ended up with what was later diagnosed as e. Coli.  It was AWFUL.[/quote]

First, there is nothing wrong with your reaction to what happened to you.  You should consider your reaction more like PTSD than anxiety.  You had a very traumatic experience and have a negative psychological reaction to it and anything that reminds you of it.

That said, you need to work on getting over your trauma.  It's not healthy for you.  If you are experience anxiety issues months before the event, then, yes, you need to talk to your therapist about increasing the medications or changing the medications to help you cope with the situation you are in.

Last, I'll agree with others.  Carnival is the bottom of the barrel and Disney is several steps up from Carnival.  The 18-20 years difference is also important.  Ships are larger, the engines and equipment are more advance and better.  Last, since the pandemic, all cruise lines have significantly improved their sanitation practices and are much more careful about procedures to reduce ship-borne illnesses.[/quote]

I forgot to add that when you book your cabins, you should aim for a cabin in the middle of the ship.  This is a good description:

[quote]Going back to the see-saw metaphor, imagine the middle of the it. Whilst the seats go up and down, the middle never actually moves. It's the same on a cruise ship. As it cuts through the waves, the front or end will move up and down but the middle of the ship (mid-ships) will stay relatively stable.[/quote][/quote]
