We often read about cruises on urg, so here's my little bit of info.
We are going on a cruise for Christmas!!!! The first ever, from
France to Italy, to Sicily,Crete, Egypt, Rome and a few more places I
can't remember. My husband phoned tonight, I am in England and told
me it is all booked up and the dog is booked into kenels. I can't
wait although I am a bit concerned; I came over on the ferry from
France due to problems with the Channel Tunnel and I felt decidedly
queasy en route, what hope for me on the open seas??? The first time
I sailed wth my husband was in Greece, on our honeymoon, we capsized
but it was just a sailing dingy. The other times I have sailed were,
again, in a Lazer and that is the sum total of my experience with
boats. I was a wimp then and I suspect I still am even though it will
be on a liner.

Try taking Stugeron tablets a few hours before. They worked for my partner
when we were crossing the Pacific, and for me sailing across the Drake
Passage.

The other thing you can get is a small scopolamine patch to wear behind your
ear, I think it's called Scopoderm, but you'd probably need to get it from a
doctor. It certainly worked for my partner, who almost throws up when
looking at a bucket of water. It's certainly worth considering.

If your ship has stabilizers you should be OK anyway.

Hope you have a great time!
