Question about Seasickness

Ask your own physician about Transderm Scop patches. Personally I do not like those patches because they have too many side effects for too many folks. But it is an alternative and very effective against mal de mer.

I use crystalized ginger. I buy it in the bulk section of our local grocery store. I only use it if I'm feeling sick (which is rare)

I found them at Sprouts today in the bulk section. Thank yall very much.

I don't get sea sick. Good thing too as we own a boat and my wife and I are both Pilots. Have seen my son turn green flying in hot bumpy weather.

I don't get motion sick anywhere else but on cruises. I have tried everything suggested here and the only thing that helps me is the patch.

Bonnie pills, the wrist band and free green apples on board. Ships are very stable these days so be prepared but do not fret, likeky as nit you will not have any issues

I used Dramamine Non-Drowsy Naturals with Natural Ginger. Bought it at Walmart. Never had a problem with seasickness the whole cruise.

i used these too! couldn't swallow the pill so i opened them and mixed with water. no issues.

I will be using these again this time around. Glad for something non drowsy that works for me.

I bought Queasy Beads from Etsy. They're nicer looking than most sea bands, so I didn't mind wearing them even when dressed up in the evening.

I found most crystallized ginger to be too spicy/hot for my palate. But the bracelets alone did the trick for me, no need for anything else. Your experience, of course, could be totally different! I would advise checking with your doctor or pharmacist for recommendations.

Just remember--why get sick in the first place??? I used Bonine the day before and a few days into the cruise. I never got sick. But whatever you decide to use, I would say put it on before you step on the ship. Happy sailing.

I agree. We take one Bonine chewable tablet every morning from 1 st day to last and have never had a problem. If you wait until you are sea sick nothing will help. We have been on a lot of cruises in really had rough seas without a problem. Never made us drowsy either like patches and other meds.

:DLuckily I did not get sea sick. FYI best time ever. Planning our next one as soon as we get home tonight.

I've tried the wrist bands but never had any luck. The Rx patches work great. To be honest unless you are going open sea like going to Hawaii the waves are minimal. I'd only worry if you are on a smaller/old ship and going to open sea. Even when we went to Hawaii w/Princess the stabilizers worked great. You felt more moving out of port than at sea. Can't say the same for the Holland ship following us. Poor guys were on many of our excursions and were complaining. Cruising to Alaska, Mexico, and Caribbean has never bothered me seasickness wise and two of those trips were in hurricane season. I've stopped taking anything. If it bothers me I'll go to the gift shop. Prices are fair on sea sickness products. Everything else... not so much. Probably has something to do with not wanting to clean some things on the ship. :)
