Nina Chuba Calls 2018 ‘Traumschiff’ Shoot ‘Absurd,’ Citing Seasickness and Monotony

Her account centers on daily anti‑seasickness injections during a month under way with scarce vegan food.

Overview

  • Chuba says she spent two months on the production for the Hawaii episode, with about one month at sea.
  • She reports receiving a shot from the ship’s doctor every day for severe seasickness, which left her fatigued.
  • As a vegan, she recalls having almost no suitable meals on board and mostly eating bread rolls.
  • She describes the onboard routine as so repetitive that she watched the same film daily and felt trapped like in a Kafka novel.
  • She remembers karaoke with Filipino crew and solo land trips in Japan and Mexico, and she currently rules out returning to acting.
