Actually i know about two regular Ferry services. The Galaxy II which was the only ferry service for a couple of years and the Utila Princess. Since it didn´t work out to have to Ferry Services to Utila the companies cleared the market and Galaxy II goes to Roatan-La Ceiba-Roatan and the Utila-Prioncess goes Utila-La Ceiba -Utila. I haven´t been on the Princess myself, but have had travelled too Utila with the Galaxy several times. Actually the Carribean isn´t a rough sea compared to e.g. german north sea. Since i have gone to the Island of Helgoland several times and also have been on a nutshell like Research Vessel (The Uthörn) i really knwo what seasickness means. I also got seasick on a giant meditereanen ferry from Barcelona to Mallorca, but i never got seasick on the Galaxy from La Ceiba to Utila or back.
Of cause it is a ship and people will get seasick on heavy weather or if they are very easy getting seasick, but actually i don´t think that on the travel from La Ceiba to Roatan it would be fair to call the Galaxy a "vomit comet". It is a passenger ferry with international standards, in good shape and absolutly no need to mention "seasickness" as a speciality of the ship, instead it is rather stable and not very rolling, compared to northseaferries i know in germany.
