burnsrod1 Posted May 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2022 For those of you that have been on an Alaska cruise is the boat always rocking or is just a unusual event We left port at 4 pm yesterday and we have been rocking and rolling pretty much since leaving Seattle. We are on the Spirit now and DW is miserable. Just took dramamine so that helps. Should we expect this throughout this trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted May 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I think that I saw somewhere that there was a storm heading your way, so I would think that is why. Edited May 19, 2022 by Schoifmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm5986142 Posted May 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2022 So sorry your wife is so miserable. No, that was not our experience on either of our Alaska voyages. We had one night of rough seas (so bad that you couldn't' walk down the corridor to your room without bumping in to the wall) but that was it.

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted May 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It was very windy in Seattle yesterday (Wednesday), and Puget Sound was filled with whitecaps (which is not typical). Guessing that the seas will calm down soon. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorPokesHoney Posted May 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It should level out once you get into the Inside Passage. We were on the 5/2 Splendor and the first day at sea was rough. After some ginger ale, Dramamine and the wristbands from the gift shop, I was good by the evening. Hang in there, it'll get better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsrod1 Posted May 20, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Seas much calmer now about 36 hours after departure. She is doing better now although she says she doesn't know if she will do this again. Thinking the scenery will change her mind over the next few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted May 20, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Alaska is so beautiful, that hopefully she will forget the earlier rough seas. Hope the rest of the cruise is fair winds and following seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
