Yes I did. I was only away for 4 nights with the last 2 at sea and felt exactly how you described for a few days after.

Have you heard of "Mal de Debarquement syndrome"? Just worth being aware of if it continues for a while

brimfull · 24/07/2010 17:05

yes , read about it when I googled
hope mine wears off as that sounds hideous

Landsickness... Yup, had what you described. Tends to be worse in confined spaces eg toilet cubicles. I sometimes feel a little wobbly going ashore during a cruise.

You should be back to normal soon

I had it. GP said it was vertigo. Lasted about a week
