My first thought is just drink non-stop!![]()

Seriously, I'm going to bring some non-drowsy Dramine or whatever they have onboard. I think I'll take it a day or two ahead of time to acclimate (and to see how it reacts with alcohol!!!!!).
I'm going to look for ginger chews and maybe bring or prepare to order ginger ale. I'll also bring my disgusting Ginger Tea.
Last year, only the first night got me (many people say it's because we were crossing the Gulf Stream). The other times I crossed the GS I didn't get sick -- must be an age thing. . .![]()

For those who read my "while it was happening" first cruise report from the DCL we did last August, you'll remember that I made the mistake of taking Bonine on the first day as a precaution because everyone told me it was harmless and it made me 1) sleepy and 2) really sick. Once I stopped taking it, I felt the motion of the ship but nothing that stopped me from doing anything I wanted to do. The Bonine made me miss almost 2 1/2 days of the trip sleeping or being miserable. So now I take nothing. I made it through those high seas last year after STT, so I'm pretty confident I'll be okay again.
