It wasn't the motion of the ocean (which wasn't bad - we missed the port so we could avoid the bad seas), but rather the fact that after a certain amount of days she got anxious as she wasn't used to so many days in a row of doing relatively nothing. And it wasn't just the sea days - after a certain amount of time she was just ready to be back in the real world. Funnily enough, now that she's retired, her attitude is completely changed and now it's the longer the better.
