Fortunately I don’t get sick in high seas, but in the past Bonine has been a big help. I don’t think Bonine makes you as drowsy as Dramamine.

I swear by Bonine. I usually pop one right before we get to the pier and then one every morning thereafter. On our way into Acapulco, we hit 14-foot swells overnight that woke me with that horrible feeling as if I were going to be sick. Pooped an additional Bonine, and within 20 minutes I was good to go back to bed. (Oh, and they also are great when you board the shore excursion buses.)

Last cruise I took a bag of candied ginger & used it a few times.
I never get sick usually but caught a bad cold/upper respiratory cough on the ship
That must have made me more sensitive to the motion, it worked though.

Last year the crew were cutting up green apples for those that felt the motion ..it was pretty rough

I was particularly interested to learn ginger is so effective. I used to put it in the category of old wives tale.

oh, I need to print out this post and put it in my suitcases for all my future travels. Usually apple and lemon help me a bit, but it’s always good to have a handful of other remedies. Thanks, Anne.
