Sea Sick?

[NCLinda]

Hi - we are going on the 4 day WOnder on 11/30. I am a little worried about sea-sickness after reading a couple of posts.

Dh and I have been on one other cruise - Holland America to Alaska - and no sea sickness.

I have read that some people get prescription from their doctors just in case. Is this neccesary? Is there anything else to bring, do or prepare for?

We are traveling with our 11 & 12 year olds - I am worried for them too. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Linda

Bonine, sea bands and in my case, phenegran. But hopefully you will not need it. I like to be safe, but no one else in my family ever has any problem with the motion (we range from 75 - 8).

Best wishes and enjoy!

I was on a cruise about 10 yrs ago and didn't get sick and I have also been out to the ocean many a times and never got sick either, but his past summer we went deep sea fishing and

I was so sick... I even took dramamine... and OUCH! A very anticipated trip was ruined.
Sooooooooooooooo~
This time I have asked my dr and my kids' (also 10 & 11) ped for a prescription "just in case". I want to have it on hand.
I have also read about seabands in here and looked into that at the drug store...they seem to run about $11.00 here .....but I have read someplace that there 'can be' some not so nice side affects, of course you'll get that no matter what meds your taking...

I'm with Rae, good luck and enjoy!

I've been deep sea fishing and I've also been out lobstering in a small craft during a small crafts warning (thought I was going to die) and didn't get sick. I'm hoping that I won't be effected on this trip. I did pick up some bonine and dramamine just in case.
