glickk Posted November 3, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2006 we are first time cruisers and can't wait until our 12/31 Mariner cruise. We will have our 11 year old DD and 7 year old DS. Both, but esp. our son, have gotten motion sickness in cars in the mountains. Since we've never cruised, i don't know if either will get motion sick on boat--and quite frankly, don't want to find out (esp. on new years eve when we sail). I"m thinking of getting them wristbands just in case (was thinking of dramamine, but then i figure they will just fall asleep as soon as we get on board-- Any ideas, recommendations or anything else from those of your who have been there before?

cruisingbug Posted November 3, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Wristbands, meclizine (provided onboard), bonine/dramamine, ginger, crackers/carbs. People on the ship also talked about eating green apples as helping but I'd never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onessa Posted November 3, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2006 DD (now 11) has always had a problem with motion sickness on curvey/hilly roads. Has been cruising since 3YO without any sea sickness issues on the cruise ship. She did get very queezy on an excursion boat we took out snorkeling -- as is the case with her on land - ginger (we always bring candied ginger with us) works the best.

crusinmama06 Posted November 4, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The bands never work on me...so bring a back up (like dramamine or bonine) just in case. I hope your children don't experience any sea sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
