Thank you, LTH28. The ship is the Atlas World Navigator. Not too concerned about hurricane season because they navigate somewhat south down the coast of Africa before crossing and then up the coast of S. America before going to several of the south Caribbean islands. What seasick meds do you pack? Any other advice?

You really have my interest and hope you will post updates on this company/ship here in CC.   Regarding Seasick meds the most common drug (often dispensed on ships) is Meclizine Hcl which is sold in the USA (over-the-counter) as a generic (just ask a pharmacist) or often under the brand name Bonine or Dramamine Non-Drowsy.  A stronger drug (available by prescription) are the Transderm Scop patches (these can have some weird side effects).  Other folks swear by Sea Bands.
