Derek Terry Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I read somewhere you can get sea sick meds at the pursers desk? Can anyone confirm this and advise iwhat they offer and if it works? Any other sea sickness advice is also appreciated. I got sea sick on the last cruise I went on so I'm going to need something.

JasonD Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Derek, The pursers desk will give you Bonine... Its not as strong as dramamine, but still causes drowsiness.. They make a low dose dramamine which is equivalent to the Bonine. Start with a half of one and see what it gets you...

Don Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Use bonine as preventative but If you do get sick, GO TO THE DOCTOR on board. They can give you a shot - fix you up in 30 minutes or so. Cost is about $75 normal hours, $125 after hours. Your health insurance will probably cover some of it. Small price to pay so you vacation isn't ruined. My wife has done it on two occasions - incredible fast results -- priceless! markinct and Derek Terry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Bonine works well, despite the drowsiness. For me, the drowsiness is that feeling of "I could use a nap". Not like you're falling over walking around. Derek Terry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other sea sickness advice is also appreciated. I got sea sick on the last cruise I went on so I'm going to need something. Thanks I use a device called Relief Band. The current model is good for 140 hrs. The previous models had replaceable batteries. They are available from Travel Smith or Aeromedex. Been using this since 1998-over 15 cruises, many TAs with complete success. It was developed for surgical recovery and chemo patients. Worth checking out!

DocLC Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I've also found them outside the medical center in a dispenser on some cruises. I also heard about Motioneaze today and might give that a try for my wife in case she needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Most medical clinics on ships have a box outside of the center with Bonine and meds like this that guests can just pick up= kind of nice - In the past when I needed this - I would take the Bonine a day or so before boarding the ship - to get used to the feeling and get it in my system. just an idea.
