I first thought you were talking about Bonine the sea sickness medicine.

So, coming from California I know nothing about hurricanes but we are sailing the Western Caribbean on Saturday. Does this mean rough waters?

Bring your Bonine for Bonnie. Other than that don't worry about it. There's nothing you can do about it. Enjoy your cruise
