I don't often get seasick but there was one day last year on Mardi Gras we had some rough weather. Fortunately my DIL had some Bonine ginger pills and it worked great. I only had to take one that day but now I take a box on every cruise just in case. We live on the beach in Cape Canaveral and the waves are pretty big right now. I did but unfortunately it's not helping. It's old but I checked the expiration and it's good till January 2025. Maybe I didn't take it soon enough? I'm not sure what the problem is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted September 12, 2023 #152 Share Posted September 12, 2023 That could be. My DIL is prone to seasickness (but loves to cruise) so she takes it proactively. The ocean is kind of wild right now for sure, so you might want to keep taking it for the time being. I hope you feel better soon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaranaman Posted September 12, 2023 #153 Share Posted September 12, 2023 ugh, I sure hope you're feeling better sooner rather than later. Maybe the first-day celebratory drinks made it worse? Regardless, maybe a decent night sleep will help 🤞 ~Bernadette 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyJut Posted September 13, 2023 #154 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Thanks for taking us along for the very long ride, er rather cruise. And I always thought your name was James! Sure hope you feel better soon. Was on the Freedom 2 weeks ago for 5day/4day b2b. Had a nice relaxing time with only the first day some bumpy weather. Hope yours improves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it bad even when the seas are smooth so I know that feeling. I hope you feel better in the morning. Is your mom ok?

DH never has an issue w/motion sickness until recently on one particularly bouncey AK cruise. Guest Services gave him pills and said to eat a green apple 🍏 when he takes them. He did and it helped. We now grab a couple green apples Day 1 & make sure we have a couple on hand throughout the cruise. You might try eating one with your next dose. Hope you feel better soon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #157 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I was feeling better by 8 so I got up and tried again. This time I was successful at making it to the buffet. Dinner menu. The buffet presentation was bad. Really really bad. Everything was near empty and no care was being taken to adjust the contents to keep it fresh looking. That said the food all tasted very nice. I did not get much because it didn't look good but I was pleasantly surprised. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #158 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Stopped off at the deli for a steak and cheese. This was also good and it tasted like I got another fresh batch of fries. Yum 😋 Dessert. Not amazing except for the cookie but it did the job. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #159 Share Posted September 13, 2023 After that I took a walk and got in 23 laps, about 2.5 miles. Stopped off for a starry and came inside to cool off. Inside I could feel the motion again and then a stack of plates crashed to the floor and that was my sign to come back to the room. Back in bed feeling a little better but definitely not 100% yet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom is doing fine just having a hard time walking on top of already being slightly mobility challenged. Other than that she's handling it like an old sailor 😆. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #164 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Laying in bed I feel fine. When I sit up I don't feel so good again. But that is a nice improvement, maybe I will be able to rest well tonight. Internet had a couple brief outages. They only lasted a couple minutes and other than that internet has been excellent so far. I'm going to try and get some sleep now. Good night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #168 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I found a duck last night but so did my mom so she is still leading by one. Fun times are not delivered to your room. Perhaps they could be requested but that option was not given when my mom asked Gs why she was not getting them. Breakfast starts at 8 so we are just killing time right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waves breaking along the shore seem to confirm that. I feel like a real person again at the moment so ill worry about that tonight lol. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
