Review summary

Captain never told us of approaching adverse weather. Motion sickness resulted that needed a visit to medical office for pills, which would have been more effective if we knew ahead of time about weather. Captain circled for hours waiting for Halifax port to open . It opened 7:30 at night.Never told us why. He sailed right past a port that was in calm water. No explanation. Free drinks were offered as compensation. We don’t drink.

Well now you know. Every ship is subject to motion. Weather can be a factor on every cruise. Since you get motion sickness, you should carry medicine for it on every cruise. No need for the captain to warn you.
