SilvertoGold Posted May 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2015 We are going on the Westerdam to Alaska in August...wondered how bumpy or smooth I should expect the cruise to be....TIA You will be out in open ocean for quite a while, so you can expect some movement. In August it should be relatively smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted May 3, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Take Meclizine at bedtime starting the night before the cruise. It is an effective and safe method of avoiding problems with ship motion. Meclizine can be purchased for less than $5 over the counter, under various brand names, at most grocery and drug stores. igraf We are going on the Westerdam to Alaska in August...wondered how bumpy or smooth I should expect the cruise to be....TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted May 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You will be out in the Ocean, you never know how it will be, hopefully smooth. Your ship has stablizers which can help if it is bumpy. If it is bumpy, stay in the middle of the ship where you won't feel it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qsuzi Posted May 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2015 We have done 5 cruises to Alaska RT Seattle which included the Inside Passage and experienced from minor to moderate motion on all of them but never got sea sick. Lots of good suggestions from other posters for minimizing and treating should you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted May 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2015 We have sailed on the Westerdam in Alaska as well as other ships. Have also sailed in August. Hard to predict if the ocean will be calm or if you will have rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
