Harmony of the Seas - non-drowsy Bonine

[cravingthis]

Do they still provide complimentary non-drowsy Bonine at Guest Services and in the medical facility? 

 

I’m in Canada, so I had to travel across the border to the US to buy some for our last cruise.  It works well for me.
 

Thanks!

Yes they have meclizine available at the medical area. Just walk up and get some. (aka Bonine, aka non-drowsy Dramamine).

Hi marci! 

I remember you very well from my last research!  So nice to hear from you again.  I'm glad they still offer it!  

 

Thanks!

Not sure why they call it “non-drowsy.”  All seasick meds make me drowsy!

Bonine and Dramamine both have Meclizine Hydrochloride.

I bought Bonine last time, but the pharmacist said they are the same.  See pictures below.

 

Note:  I thought they said non-drowsy, but on closer look, they both say "less" drowsy.  

In any event, they worked for me!

Oh, sorry to hear that.

Bonine & Non-Drowsy Dramamine are Meclizine Hydorchloride which are less likely to cause sleepiness. I found this out several years ago when a pharmacist recommended Bonine as an alternative over the counter product for my occasional Vertigo (which was prescribed Meclizine).

 

Dramamine original formula is Dimenhydrinate which causes drowsiness in many cases. I know it does for me 🛏️

Guest Services and Medical Center both have individually packaged meclizine available for free on Royal ships.

I just noticed your user name and picture.  I've been trying to find brillo scouring pads whenever I go across the border. They don't seem easy to find.

Thanks mooseman52b.  It's actually the non-scratch scrub pads - see picture below.  Amazon has them for $50 for a pack of 3!  Insane huh? I tried contacting the company, but they never responded.  I'll try looking for them again the next time I go across the border to the US.
