Nothing can ruin a day quicker than becoming “motion
sick”. Being at sea is a “moving”
experience. This can be a wonderful experience
or it can be a nightmare. The gentle
motion of moving across the water can be as relaxing as a porch swing, or it
can be a wild, rolling, rocking, “knock you off your feet” ride you won’t soon
forget.

| Joni's choice... |
Joni highly recommends “Bonine” for motion sickness. It is a great “non-drowsy” formula that works
really well. Joni takes one of these
each morning and she is good the rest of the day. I would recommend that you don’t wait until
you think you need it, by then it is most likely too late. If you know that you are susceptible to
motion sickness, then stay ahead of it.
There are an assortment of other remedies available, both
prescription and OTC. Obviously, if you
are really concerned about this matter, or you have some personal reason that
could give you cause for worry, speak with your Physician. However, for the vast majority of people, I
would suspect that OTC solutions should do just fine.
You can even obtain helps and remedies while on the
ship. However, why not just take care of
it ahead of time. There are ample things
about your cruise which can have the potential for being a bother, and of which
you have very little control; everything from standing in a long buffet line,
to an evening show that wasn't
One last suggestion: eat!
I remember back in 1985 on our first cruise, Joni was experiencing some
minor discomfort due to motion sickness.
One of the ship’s crew members noticed and offered the following
suggestion. “Eat something.” As counter-intuitive as this sounds, it
actually works very well. A small
sandwich or even just a piece of bread or pastry sometimes is all it
takes. And... the good news is that on your cruise you will never have to worry about having an empty stomach.
