Gidget424 Posted March 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We've booked a 10 night cruise on the Royal Princess, mediterranean, Rome, Croatia, etc ending in Barcelona. We have a deluxe balcony room on Deck 8, room E204. It's only my 2nd cruise having done Celebrity Silhouette in Sept where we were mid ship uppper deck. I tend to suffer from sea sickness so want to know if this room will be ok for me or is it recommended we change it now while we stilll can?

GloriaF Posted March 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I can't say how rough the seas will be, but cabin 204 is pretty far forward, and forward cabins do feel a lot of motion. You are also booked on a lower deck, so that should alleviate some of the motion. Wish we could foresee the future sea conditions, but I've done a similar cruise and as far as I can recall the seas were fairly calm. That said, I don't get motion sick so am not a good judge. Hope you get some better replies and are able to make a good decision for yourself. Royal Princess is a fabulous ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted March 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I can only add a few things to the post by GloriaF based on my wife being very susceptible to all types of motion sickness. As posted, lower decks are more stable and midship is best for her but aft is better than being forward. But the conditions are impossible to predict so she brings Meclizine (much less expensive antihistamine generic version of Bonine) which when necessary has helped her to enjoy dozens of cruises. It's definitely helped her even during the notoriously rough crossing of the Tasman Sea between AUS & NZ in 20'-25' seas with near hurricane force winds.

Rare RLK33853 Posted March 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No telling what the sea conditions will be but we have found the Med to be fairly calm compared to cruises in other parts of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azgrandmax3 Posted March 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I am another strong supporter of Meclizine. I started taking it 10 voyages ago and not one day of motion sickness. Which did include several rough sea days. The product is OTC, but a few states difficult to find. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted March 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2017 First of all you never know how rough the sea is going to be. Because of that we always book mid ship cabins. My wife takes a bottle of Puritan's Pride Ginger Root 550 MG for nausea, Natural whole herb. You can check on line at http://www.puritan.com. Good luck and smooth sailing.

Redwing55 Posted March 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2017 has any cruisers out there have good experience with sea bands? thx, poupette Yup, DW swears by them. At times I've recently felt some queasiness so I tried em too.. seemed to work well. Hard to argue about pressure point fixes. Call me a believer.

medsed Posted March 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2017 has any cruisers out there have good experience with sea bands? thx, poupette My husband uses them every cruise, he especially gets sick on smaller boats such as the ones for dive or snorkel trips...since he started using the bands he has not been sick once. Of course, we also travel with the patches for really rough seas and these have been great for him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
