What's the Best Motion Sickness Solution for Experienced Cruisers?

[amy07]

This is for experienced cruisers, what do you think works the best for motion sickness? the patch worn behind the earn, the wristbands or just take the bonine? I know that several cruisers say that you don't even realize that you are moving, but for those of us that get queasy easily I want to be prepared.

Since I am the self proclaimed queen of motion sickness,:sick: I'll tell ya what I think. This will be my 5th cruise. I will be using the patch. Granted I get sick if I'm in a swimming pool too long, but that seems to be what works for me. I have tried the wrist bands, didn't notice anything. The patch does have some side effects, but it is much better than having to go to the hospital on the ship and get shots (ya I've been there!).

Well, Shana I am encouraged that the cruise must be awesome if you have gone thru all of that and still want to go! LOL
I'm thinking I'll probably go with the patch too! I can get woozy just walking on a deck sometimes. AND DH & I took a riverboat dinner cruise once and I got a little out of whack. Just dizzy and discombobulated:yuck:

I prefer chewable Bonine and the wristbands...

my kids and I all used the wrist bands----we never took them off---and we were all GOOD---
