Dizziness: Quite simply, vertigo is a type of dizziness that results from changes within the structures of the inner ear that tell the brain where we are and what we're doing. As vertigo can be a symptom of an underlying disorder, you might want to have your doctor check it out just to be safe. If it's transient (like motion sickness on a cruise, there's a scopolamine patch that works really well).
