I also have a little trouble after a cruise with feeling like I am still on the ship - the house is rocking for 3 or 4 days. I never have gotten seasick. So I think this is a result of accomodating your equilibrium to the ship's movement (aka getting your "sea legs"), which maybe prevents sea sickness. So then I guess you have to get your land legs back.
After port stops in Mexico, I usually get a bit of a lower GI illness, no matter how careful I am. Usually remedied with OTC medications. One time I went ashore and didn't eat or drink anything (went back to the ship for lunch) - and no illness.
To avoid the illnesses passed around aboard ship, I wash hands after touching public surfaces, and this has seemed to prevent picking up infections that occur when people are in such close quarters.
Ever get sick at the end or just after?
