I don't think anybody can reliably counsel you about the cruise. Most cruise ship are stabilized to have minimal sea movement so sea sickness should not be a big issue. A trial cruise may be worthwhile, though.

It sounds like you have had some sort of trigger, a trauma, emotional stress, illness, hormone changes, etc. that has caused a sort of relapse. Understanding the cause would be valuable.

The Computerized Neurocognitive Testing (CNT) your doc did suggests you may want to get further testing with a Neuro Psychological Assessment to full assess your functioning. Sports concussion specialists are usually trained at ImPACT or Brain Minder conferences or seminars that focus on Return to Play. They often do not get into the long term aspects of concussions, especially for mid aged people since most athletes in contact sports are 20s and younger.

Your memory issues may have environmental factors. With young children, visual and auditory stimulation is often high and can cause mental fatigue. The CNT should have been in a quiet environment so being symptomatic suggests something more than over-stimulation fatigue. It leaves lots of questions.

But, planning ahead for the cruise is a valid concept.
