When cruising I take Bonine and wear a ReliefBand when the ship is moving. Dramamine works but makes me drowsy. Ginger and pressure bands do nothing for me. Haven’t tried the patch. I like the ReliefBand Sport model because it’s rechargeable. There are also battery models. Amazon has the ReliefBand but it’s expensive. Your best bet is to go to the website and watch for a sale (20-30% off). The one time my preventatives failed me was my previous cruise on the Reflection when I was in a far forward cabin where there is more motion. Rough weather a couple days. No more forward cabins for me. I’m fine with aft cabins. The least motion is mid-ship, lower deck. But looking out a window on a very low deck (for example Deck 3 by the Passport Bar) makes me immediately nauseous. I guess because the view is wave level.

The name tags look just perfect. They obviously took a lot of work. I saved a name tag (not nearly as fancy) from many cruises ago. I know it’s more than 10 years old. I wear it for sailaways and events such as slot pulls. -

I generally despise cauliflower but that soup turned out to be my favorite course. I couldn’t believe it. -
Oops, this was on Reflection, not Silhouette.

Me too! Here’s a link to the roll call for our 2025 cruise. (Don’t know how to trim the text below the link. Have to say computers are not my forté.) -
I always pack a backup bar soap for the shower in case I find the soap provided irritating. I’m usually fine, but on my previous cruise on Silhouette there was a heavily scented fancy soap that I couldn’t use. Don’t recall the brand, the name starts with “S.” I used the bar of soap I’ve been carrying around for years. The scented lotion didn’t bother me.

I don’t understand why CC got their panties in a bunch over this either.

Soap drama! Now I have a mystery. The package of soap was delivered in the afternoon and was on the front porch a couple hours before I decided to go fetch. Heard some scrabbling noises in the meantime but didn't think much of it. (No, I don’t have a door camera.) The package was torn open and the box had a round puncture from a tooth. The box was OK otherwise. No marks on the soap. Apparently some varmint thought the soap smells yummy. (It has a nice herbal scent. I really like it.) Wonder what the critter was… Glad I didn’t open the door to check out the noise.

I’ve packed Soft Soap pump hand soap for years. Handy and less mess for the cabin steward. Just ordered the Extra Laurel soap from Amazon. Sounds lovely.

Sorry your visit to Martinique was a bust. I had a wonderful ship excursion to chef Prisca Morjon’s restaurant. Learned a lot about local ingredients and the various Martinique rums. To go with lunch we each made our own custom cocktail. At the base of the path up to Brimstone I came across a lady terrified of the trek. I held her hand, encouraged her and we made it to the top just fine. She was thrilled. Made my day.

Enjoyed the Daily Walk video. You’ll never see me in a driverless car. They break down, then a T. rex eats you. 🦖
