TravelSmarty Posted March 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2010 What makes you calm during stormy travel? 1. Go to my cabin 2. Listen to the song "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley; or any reggae music. 3. Eat something sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat something sweet. Drink kahlua on the rocks, go to my stateroom and go to sleep. carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisrn2003 Posted March 30, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Drugs! Dramamine, Xanax, Valium, Phenergan, Benadryl, Ginger tablets....whatever works that's handy. My husband is an ex-seaman, so he LOVES rough weather. Sleep is my best friend when it's really rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Laura Posted March 30, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Prayer Holy Water Lorazepam TV on Talk to myself... Tell myself this happens all the time and that these ships are suppose to be able to weather hurricanes. Tell myself those horrific You Tube Videos I have seen all these yrs on CC were all fake. Tell myself if something happens at least my married DDs would have all things I don't use to save for a special occasion and have our insurance money to enjoy. Try to go to sleep...hard to do when you are talking to yourself. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise kitty Posted March 30, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I actually enjoy the stormy weather, find a lounge under the overhang, or the indoor pool area, order a drink, and ride it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulcimergirl Posted April 5, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I went to the library, on Independence of the Seas. Its pretty much mid point and the least moving. I then watched all the folks walking (or trying to) down the Prominade..lol People watching is my favorite thing.. One funny thing happened the first night, it was pretty bouncy and it didn't bother me, but must have some people. the second day we were checking out the photo's and there was one photo of a smileing lady that was positively green! I often wish I had that photo..lol I've never seen anyone so green in my life.. kind of clammy and really horrid. And she was still smiling...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carib123 Posted October 12, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2010 We were on our way back to San Juan from Aruba one spring day when the seas were rough and the winds were gusting across decks at about 40 knots. My wife got queasy and I went down to one of the bars where a bartender told me the best thing to do is eat a little something, as strange as that sounds, to help settle your stomach. If all else fails.....a beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilfish7 Posted October 12, 2010 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thankfully I have yet to experience truly "stormy" weather while cruising! If I do though, I'll be sure to follow y'alls advice: booze, then sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 12, 2010 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I vote for booze....being tipsy keeps you from focusing on the motion...you can't tell if it's you or the ship that's moving! Works for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irshgal Posted December 7, 2010 #18 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I agree with those that think it's just part of cruising. And I always remember that the captain and crew don't have a death wish, so they'll do what they can to make sure we're all comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
