Review summary

It was a little rough and rocky all five days had to take medicine every day for motion sicknesses. The burgers were the best and the Steakhouse and their staff made for a memorable night.

Food and Dining

Food was good. Dink options poor. Tea and the lemonade was not very good. 2.39 for a can of soda is outrageous.

Ship tip

Paid 5.00 for Facebook and it didn't work well so I upgraded for another 35.00 dollars and it was not worth it. DO NOT BUY THE INTERNET.

They sell a motion sickness aid at Walmart called Motion Eaze. It is all natural and doesn’t interfere with meds. You put a dab of the liquid behind each ear. It works!

Did the medicine make you drowsy? That is always my concern. Don't want to mix with my yummy fruity cocktails. ;) LOL

It was the pills they sale for $1.00 on the boat. Take one every 12 hours. My friend brought the bracelet from Walgreens and she never got sick.

over the counter remedies that I use include ear plugs, a bracelet that uses pressure points and smelling peppermint oil. I have yet to take any over the counter medicine for 6 cruises so far. Not to say they don't work, just my preference.

If you don't mind me asking, what motion sickness medicine did you take & did it work? I'm going on my first cruise in Feb and a bit nervous as I get sick in planes & when riding in the backseat of vehicles. Thank you!
