Always take Bonnine on big cruise ships. First time on river cruise, do I even have to worry about it? Judy:)

Judy - Occasionally the ship (Amadagio last December) would use bow thrusters to adjust position but never did I experience swaying sufficiewnt to make me queasy. But it never hurts to be prepared.

Not a problem. Don't be concerned at all.;)

Judy - No waves on the river...We did have a hydrofoil zip by once and it did create a little wake...no big deal. Relax on board and have a good time. Willard

Judy,

 

That´s the main advantage of river cruises: no motion sickness!!!

 

First you usually don´t have any major waves. Second you can always see the land and that makes the difference!

Was never a problem. Sometimes we didn't even know we were moving!

Never a problem. In fact I slept great aboard with the slight motion of the ship. It was always a smooth ride - much better than on a large cruise ship. Have fun!

Thanks everyone, this is all good to know! I thought it would be a smooth but it's nice to hear it from the experienced cruisers.
