Cruise Ship Travel Tip #4 – Sea Sickness

Mar 19

Posted by Cruise-Special.net in Caribbean Cruises | No Comments


travelwishtv.comseasickness – If you get seasick it can and will ruin your cruise experience. Unless you’re 100% sure you don’t get seasick be sure to take something just in case. Most ships have stabilizers you can still feel the boat rocking especially at night when the boat picks up speed while most passengers are tucked away in there beds. You have several options. A doctor can give you a prescription for a patch that will last the whole time. You can also take one a day Dramamine or Bonine. If it makes you sleepy just take it at night instead of in the morning. If you don’t like taking medicine you can purchase wristbands that prevent seasickness through pressure points on your wrist. Ginger tea has also been known to calm sea sickness. If a cup of hot tea isn’t the best thing on a Caribbean cruise try taking a couple of Ginger tablets morning and night. It’s not only supposed to prevent seasickness but is also supposed to help your food digest. It’s available at your drug store in the vitamin section. I suggest you buy some before you depart on your next cruise who knows you might just ease the sickness for yourself or a fellow passenger.
