Chez2 Posted April 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Are travel sickness pills available on reception or in the medical centre as they are on RCL, or do you have to pay for them or bring your own. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovccruiser Posted April 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2016 They usually are available along with other remedies, bands etc, or you can pay the Doctor and get the injection. If it does get rough though, they may well sell out so you may have to be quick or take some with you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ged1967 Posted April 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2016 On TA in December we sailed through rough seas & storms (the storm that lashed UK at Christmas) My OH felt ill first day. Went to medical centre & recomended that we buy the seasickness pill from pursers desk as they usually work & are cheaper than the injection. The pills worked well and only two doses were required although it was pretty rough for whole crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted April 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2016 You can buy them in one of the shops on board, but it's much cheaper to get them before you sail. They have a long shelf life so if you don't need them they will keep until the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted April 26, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thank you everyone I will get some from my transplant team next time I am in clinic. I'm not normally sea sick but recently having a tx I can't take the risk with my rejection drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshikitty Posted April 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2016 You better get them before you embark. They are available at Guest Services, but are US$ 35,-- if I remember correctly (fellow passenger told me some years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwren Posted April 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Are travel sickness pills available on reception or in the medical centre as they are on RCL, or do you have to pay for them or bring your own. Thank you. I have found on the 5 different lines we have cruised with that they are always available at reception free of charge. Always assumed that it was better to provide the tablets than to have to clear up after people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moinmoin Posted April 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Sea sick bracelets (accupressure) are available in the shop on board - and they really work!! My husband was heavily suffering and these bracelets (one per side) definitively helped! So before taking pills I would try those and would by them in advance in your pharmacy so you have them available. We for sure will have them ready in our luggage for our next voyage in December.

2dogcarol Posted May 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I always take my bonine (available at Walmart) every morning during a cruise. If the sea is particularly rough, I may pop another one during the evening. I get sea sickness very easily but have never had a problem when taking bonine.
