My husband and I went on our first cruise on our honeymoon 13 years ago. It was 7 nights and we didn't have any problems with motion sickness. We didn't go on another cruise until Jan 2016 when we took the kids for a 4 night Disney cruise. We went with 2 other families. The first night almost all of us felt sick. DH, me, and 2 of our kids felt terrible. We took Dramamine but it didn't seem to help much and just made us tired so we missed the evening festivities after dinner. The other families with us were also feeling sick even though all of the adults in those 2 families had the motion sickness patches behind their ears (I don't know what those are called).
Night 2 and 3 were fine. Then on night 4, DH felt ill again. I was aware of the motion of the ship but didn't feel as sick as he did. That all said, we had a great time on the cruise but DH said he wasn't interested in going again because of the sickness.
Well...we did put down a $300 placeholder deposit on a future cruise while we were on the ship. We're debating on whether to just get a refund. DH said he would consider another cruise if it weren't for the sickness. We had friends suggest Bonine and said it works a lot better than Dramamine. What are everyone's thoughts? If we were to go again, it would probably be Sept 2017. Isn't that hurricane season? Would the water likely be rough again?
