In 2003 my DH and I were scheduled to take our first cruise. My mother advised that I get the Rx patch for behind my ear. Despite being in my late 30’s I followed my mother’s advice.
On day 3 of the cruise, I watched the patch go down the shower drain. I said to myself, “I don’t need those just because my mother does!”
I woke up as sick as a dog. I put on a new patch, but it takes hours to kick in. I had to be walking around to not be puking. Got my steps in that day!
Heading out this summer on our 5th cruise. You bet I’ll have that patch on several hours before embarkation.
Talk to your doctor and have several options available. When we took our young children with us, I carried the non medicinal wrist bands. They helped my son.
Wishing you all smooth sailing!
