Sea sickness...dramamine, shots........??????

I was prepared and had the seabands with me. My husband felt a little lightheaded the first day, but after that no problem and we never took the seabands out of the package. I thought I would get air sick but nothing at all.

thanks a bunch, everybody.......seems as if bonine is the way to go, since Dramamine seems to make people tired. Thanks for all the suggestions. :cool:

Yes, the patch gave me every side effect printed. Although, due to the blurred vision side effect I couldn't read the "side effect warnings" on the medication leaflet...go figure, but I did call the on ship nurse, and she advised I remove it immediatly. After I could see again (the next day) I had about every side effect possible for those patches. LOL...

Where do you get those wrist bands? Sailing in 16 days...whoo hooo...I can't wait to go again. I am a true cruise junkie!

Hi Happy Cruisers!

We are going on our first cruise in late May to Alaska. I am wondering where to get the elastic seasickness bands that you talk about. Neither the better half or I have had motion sickness in cars, etc, but I would like to be prepared.

Thank you for any information.

I sail out this saturday, I found the wristbands at walgreens for like 6$ a pair, and I guess you have to wear one on both wrists. Hopefully I won't need them if the pina coloda's are flowing..lol....

I don't usually get sea sick, but our last cruise had some rough seas the first couple of nights out, and I was feeling pretty queasy. I took some dramamine less drowsy, and it really helped. I only took it for a day or so, and after that, I didn't need it.
