Relief Band, ErmTerm: Effective? Which one?
mgtravelsalot replied to YourWorldWithBill's topic in Holland America Line
I used to get very sea sick I use sea bands, have always worked for me I put them on before I get on the ship Then I drink only ginger ale with bitters the first day and eat green apples Works like a charm.. The ginger and bitters was told to me years ago by a crew bartender. After meno pause I no longer get it though unless very rocky but I come prepared. I dont take the meds they all made me sick or dizzy worse than the sea sickness and the patches made me hallucinate. Once got land sick after many sea days now that was fun lol -
Cunard will give you all you want great lectures, shows, activities. The lectures will be both port selective as well as other topics. at least 2 per day. QM2 even has a planetarium with several shows. The others ships have things to do as well. I love HAL but often do Cunard for transatlantic now. Ships are elegant. They do dress up more at night but you can always just go to their buffet which is good. My MOM loved it .

have gotten one on every cruise no matter where I went

I just go to the dining rm whenever I want and ask to share a table. Get to meet a lot of people that way. as far as the speciality restaurants go I just eat in there alone but there are often people around you to strike up a conversation with them Or wait until you meet others and arrange to go with them.

as a solo traveler Oceania and Azamara are out of my budget if I want to go on more than one cruise a year. so I stay with HAL and an occasional Princess . . I do like smaller ships though not into all the flashy stuff, want amore refined cruise. I do use Cunard quite a bit as well if i want to go to Europe I take the QM2 over or back

Im just glad Ive already been thru the Red sea and Isreal, Egypt etc, I wouldnt even travel to anywhere with in bombing distance of many places I have been. Whats weird is Im going on a ship next week for 2 weeks and my friends used to tell me to stop cruising because every time I went away weird things or disasters would happen. My Mom and I started to predict and would try to guess what would happen, This goes way back to Columbine , first cruise we took, then OK bombing yep second cruise, then after that things like, Beruit bombings, Kenya bombings, the tsuami in Bali, 9/11 was on the Qm2 couldnt dock stayed at sea a few days had to go to Halifax, London Bombings, Paris riots, Egypt Arab spring , Japan earthquake and many more I have forgotten at this point, but if its going to happen Im usually on a ship lol
