    Being sea sick is no joke. Took me out a whole day my first cruise. I’m glad Lauren came around at the end! I’ve seen videos on how bad the drake passage can be!

      There are Rx sea sickness patches that you put behind your ear. You put a new one on every third day. I get them for every single cruise from my doctor. If I need them-I have them. If not, I save them for the next cruise. Cost. $4.00.

      I have never been sea sick but I did watch my husband turn green on a short trip from Dana Point, CA to Catalina Island. He looked and felt awful. It’s the real deal.

    Bonine works so much better than dramamine and non drowsy. Also I always start my Bonine a day or 2 before my cruises because I am prone to sea sickness. Ever since there I have been in fairly rough seas and haven't gotten sick since using bonine and taking it before getting sick.
    Hope Lauren starts feeling better.

      @granthanham9082 Год назад +3

      Jenea is correct from my experience. Always start taking your seasickness medication early , even earlier than the medication usually recommends. Days , not just a few hours.

    I crossed through the Drake Passage in January of this year. I vomited at least twenty times. It was brutal. I eventually learned that if I didn’t move and just lied down, I wouldn’t be as sick, so that’s what I did and the vomiting subsided. I couldn’t eat for about 48 hours either, so I dropped a couple of ponds. I thought that the seasickness patch would have helped me more but it didn’t do much for me. The Drake Passage is no joke! 😂 Lauren I’m feeling your pain!!!

    I’m glad Lauren is feeling a little better-I felt so bad watching her. I used to get land sick after working my really long Jungle Cruise shifts at WDW. 13 hours off and on a small boat. I’d get home and the room would be rocking like I was still on the boat.

    I highly recommend getting a reliefband. It is an electric bracelet that delivers a small shock to the same nerve that a sea band presses. I have used one for 19 cruises (most of which were TAs). Our first was awful due to sea sickness. I have loaned mine out frequently and purchased extras just in case. I could not cruise without them. We did a TA on the RCCL Legend-a small ship without stabilizers. We were on Deck 8 OT 9 and waves were splashing on our balcony. We were fine.

    I feel bad for Lauren, I’m so glad I don’t get seasick anymore (I used to as a young kid) my stomach has adapted after 30+ years on the seas. Looks like you had the ship to yourself most people must have felt like Lauren did. I had beef Weligton for the first time in December and my gosh it was amazing and I’d probably not even consider anything else on a menu if it’s available now.

    • @denp54z
      @denp54z Год назад +2

      Sea sickness is more about your inner ear than your stomach. But eating greasy crappy foods won't help either. The young Lady should have sat out on the deck cause that fresh cool air does wonders and getting to ordinate your eyes & brain with the ocean horizon helps a lot too !

    Advise for Lauren as someone that has been seasick forever! Get outside look at the horizon and with the fresh air it will help! Also, green apples and ginger/ginger ale!
    Taking ginger capsules a week before sailing and continuing thru the cruise helps so much!
    Have sailed the Drake passage but have sailed thru a storm thru the Sea of Biscay and these things helped so much!
    Have to say after 50+ cruises it does get better!
    Advise for Jay…don’t keep asking someone that doesn’t feel good how they feel…it only makes you think of it more! 😅
