What OT Meds should I take and what can I get onboard?

[dtuleya]

I have the usual stuff, ibuprofen, Immodium, bonine, but I'm wonder if I should pack some cold meds, etc. just in case? Is there a place onboard where I can get some OTC meds if we need them? I realize I'll have to pay more, but I don't want to be lugging my entire medicine cabinet along.

The one gift shop onboard (Treasure Ketch?) has a reasonable selection of over the counter stuff. There is also the ship dispensary but that can be really expensive.

I would bring cough medicine, immodium and antacids along with what you already packed. We all got one thing or another on our first 2 cruises and it was good to be prepared. This year we brought every type of OC med you could think of and were lucky that we only needed cough meds for my DD. You can get a limited supply of meds at Treasure Ketch but I felt it better to be safe then sorry.

I'd add Sudafed and Benedryl. You can get them in blister packs that don't take up much space. And I never travel anywhere without my jar of Vicks Vaporub (much to DH's disgust). Somehow Vicks clears up my head at bedtime better than anything. Maybe a psychological remnant of my childhood!

Zicam and Fast Melt Benadryl. Not sold onboard.

I always have a mini fist aid kit - just items that I have put in a metal band-aid box.

whenever we travel (quite often) i always take as complete a supply of OTC medicine as i can: Advil, Tylenol, Midol, Seudafed (12 hour), Tylenol sinus, Tylenol Cold, Bacitricin or neosporin, Otrivin Dosing spray, Maalox Plus, plus a Digital Thermometer and bandaids, and of course on the cruise, Dramamine II...
i'm sure i've left something out.....i actually have most of that packed in our carry on at all times, so that it's ready to go when we are...

i didn't pay attention to what was available on the ship, but in the resort stores the selection is limited and very expensive...so i figure it's the same on the ship...
