Silly Question about Bonine??

[coriedorie]

I love playing with words...always told my kids to "look it up". I did a search and found the Mercksource site that stated the proper pronounciation is bow-neen. This will help me as much as anyone else, because I was saying bah-neen!! Thanks for bringing the question out into the open!

the Mercksource site that stated the proper pronounciation is bow-neen.

So is that "bow" rhymes with "ow" or "bow" rhymes with "oh"?

Well...lets just look that up!!!

All that I care is that is available for free outside the medical clinic onboard, right?

Can anyone confirm that Bonine is available outside the clinic 24 hours a day if you get there and suddenly decide you are seasick?

Thank you! We are sailing in less than 30 days on our first DCL cruise!

It is not the brand name, bonine, but it is still available from guest services or medical (at least it was about a year ago, but I can't ever see that changing!) I thought the stuff worked great. I had a patch on for the first cruise that worked great, but then I got some of the stuff in my eyes and I switched to the free stuff. It was great!

I am stubborn and refuse to change. It will always be ba-neen to me!!! Darn kids knowing how to use the internet today.....okay, I admit, I tried to look it up, too! I just couldn't find it!

Well, I guess I have always thought of it as bo(9), but after reading all the arguments I have been swayed to the "neen" side. Maybe we should post a poll....

Bo(9), Bo(7) Canadian.

I'll add another vote for Bo-neen. I'm usually a stickler for pronunciation/spelling, but I hadn't even thought about this one before.
