So far, I have never been sick on a cruise ship, but I have been sick on
smaller ships. My parents have taken us on boats since I was a baby, and
I would get sick most of the time. I stopped boating, when I was about
about 11, because I could not take it. I still got into small boats on
lakes, but no big boats out into deep water.
I tried meclizine, ginger capsules and ginger ale. Meclizine worked,
but the ginger capsules and the ginger ale did not work for me. I tried
the ginger capsules and the ginger ale with 12 people in this newsgroup.
We went scuba diving together, and about half of us were sick. I was so
sick, I could not do the 2nd dive. I had to go back to using meclizine.
If you try meclizine, use it at home, first, before you cruise. Make
sure you are OK with it before you try to use it on the ship.
Please come back and let us know! I am looking forward to hearing all
about it.
