Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
As you are on ship and going to australia, the folic acid brands available in Australia are BLACKMORE's FOLIC ACID or I-FOLIC tabs. These can be again need to be prescribed by the local GP before the pharmacy dispenses it to you so anyhow you would have to meet a local GP.
Livogen is a multivitamin and another substitute for it like the PRENATAL vitamin tabs can be an easy supplement for you.

Detailed Answer:
Well , i shall certainly try but i need to know which city would you be anchoring at first and if you would have time to visit one.
My advise would be to try control your nausea with lemon as you are on ship and sea sickness may also shall contribute to your nausea further.
Infant you may try visiting your cruise doctor also over the ship, and they too would have the folic acid medications else they would be the best people to help you there.
