Yes you get me! That’s why trying to find something west coast so don’t have to fly. What about the larger ships launching out of San Diego or LA (that go to Mexico)? Im wondering if maybe a ship double the size of the Ruby Princess I was on before would make a difference? yes I’m desperate but willing to accept I’m one of the 5% with such bad motion sickness and anxiety that this won’t work.

Thanks so much for responding. On the Alaska cruise I was great during the inner passage but the thought of returning to the (rough) open seas made me unable to eat and very nervous. And the captain had said seas were only 6-10 feet at worst when we were in open water coming from Seattle. I gave the bands a chance but no luck. I even tried Zofran, prescription strength anti nausea used for chemo patients. Took edge off but didn’t help a lot.

I have bad motion sickness, even slightly bumpy flights I get sick -Dramamine, scopolamine patch, hcl; nothing works. My one cruise (Seattle to Anchorage; Princess 3200 person ship) I didn’t vomit but was so dizzy and nervous couldn’t eat. I love the idea of a cruise though. Will any of these be different?: river cruise, ship that hugs the coast for 3-5 days, or maybe a super big ship (Allure of Seas?). I live in the LA area.
