cravingthis Posted August 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Do they still provide complimentary non-drowsy Bonine at Guest Services and in the medical facility? I’m in Canada, so I had to travel across the border to the US to buy some for our last cruise. It works well for me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci22 Posted August 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yes they have meclizine available at the medical area. Just walk up and get some. (aka Bonine, aka non-drowsy Dramamine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted August 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Didn’t know you could get a less drowsy formula. Thanks M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catugirl Posted August 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Not sure why they call it “non-drowsy.” All seasick meds make me drowsy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks M Bonine and Dramamine both have Meclizine Hydrochloride. I bought Bonine last time, but the pharmacist said they are the same. See pictures below. Note: I thought they said non-drowsy, but on closer look, they both say "less" drowsy. In any event, they worked for me! 3 hours ago, catugirl said: Not sure why they call it “non-drowsy.” All seasick meds make me drowsy! Oh, sorry to hear that.

mooseman52b Posted August 11, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Bonine & Non-Drowsy Dramamine are Meclizine Hydorchloride which are less likely to cause sleepiness. I found this out several years ago when a pharmacist recommended Bonine as an alternative over the counter product for my occasional Vertigo (which was prescribed Meclizine). Dramamine original formula is Dimenhydrinate which causes drowsiness in many cases. I know it does for me 🛏️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I just noticed your user name and picture. I've been trying to find brillo scouring pads whenever I go across the border. They don't seem easy to find.

Thanks mooseman52b. It's actually the non-scratch scrub pads - see picture below. Amazon has them for $50 for a pack of 3! Insane huh? I tried contacting the company, but they never responded. I'll try looking for them again the next time I go across the border to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
