Review summary

We had a fabulous time. No complaints. Only thing I would say is that we had to purchase Tylenol and the price was outrageous. $12.00 for a small 24 tablet bottle is crazy. But we had to have it as my son had a bad headache.

I always bring a small med kit when cruising, Tylenol, Motrin, bandaids and antibiotic cream for the scrapes.

Always bring medicine even if you aren’t sick. I think DayQuil was like $12

My hubby laughs at my medication bag, but always needs something from the bag on every vacation!

I’m with these others, take everything. In the past I went to dollar tree and bought a variety of single dose medicine, now I have a great compact organizer I refill (Tylenol, ibuprofen, Sudafed, Benadryl, Imodium, Zantac). Last cruise the ship sold out of sea bands and I gave mine away to a very seasick gal I met who needed them.

I take all kinds of medications with us just in case as the prices are unreal especially if you need to see the doctor... that's why I have said take sea sickness, etc with you best to be safe than sorry ... then you can enjoy 😊

We had to buy sea sick bands on our first cruise. Taught us to always pack a first aid bag. Just in case.

Understand that. Lesson learned on my first cruise for same reason. Now I make it a necessity to pack.
