Yes, too late for advice on motion sickness but it wasn't a problem and 
I've not suffered from that in the past.  After leaving IBM I was for 2 
years the engineering design manager for a small defense contractor 
which specialized in work for the Navy.  After developing some hardened 
navigational displays for them I and the senior members of my team spent 
10 days on the USS Nimitz during a shakedown cruise in the Pacific. 
Despite her size (nearly 1100 feet long) she does a lot of rocking and 
rolling.  My biggest problem was not seasickness but trying to sleep 
underneath the catapults during night operations.  But I'm not sure I 
could say the same if the ship had been a tin can (destroyer).  :-)
