Add me too. I can't do anything that spins, no star tours or similar, I can't read while moving, but yet I can cruise without using anything. Like the op, I needed to know if I really needed anything. My first cruise I used ginger and Bonine, but wondered if I needed them, so stopped on the next cruise. I've cruised 5 times since and have not used anything and no problem. However, should the waters be rough I think I would have problems, so I do carry the ginger and Bonine. I used the patch many years ago and did not like the side effects of not being able to focus. Not sure if that's still a side effect now, plus dry mouth, but the drink of the day can fix that.

$5.00 you can get it lots of places.
Small drop of oil under ear when you get on board or even waiting to board and then repeat a few times and it works wonders.
No effects from using it.
We have had some bumpy rides(Alaska, waves/splash were on deck 4/5 and Hawaii when the pools were emptied from water splashing out of them).
We never felt a thing!
The bottle last forever!
I hadn't heard of this before, I'll have to check into it.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It's interesting to get the variety of responses. I know it's a YMMV situation, but I'm glad to hear there are others similar to me who don't need meds for cruising. I'm leaning toward not using the patch but bringing it or Bonine or Motioneaze as a just in case. I'm going to AK tomorrow so if I can get to a drug store before then maybe I'll pickup some Bonine and do a trial run by riding EE over and over!
