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 tol
d
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 ti
me
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 wer
e,
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 w
il
l
be on a liner.

Try taking Stugeron tablets a few hours before.

Thanks, I'll do a bit of Googling for that.

I swear by Stugeron but cruise lliners have stabilisers and you'll be
very, very unlucky to have a bad day that will make you sea sick. *I'm
not a good sailor, even though I love sailing and I took Stugeron like
smarties all down the French, Spanish and Portuguese coast until we got
to Gibraltar. *After that I thought I should tough it out but my sea
legs were well established by then! *I know others who find the wrist
bands very effective but I haven't tried those myself.

Stugeron do work but make me very drowsy and you have to keep a big
supply handy for a long trip. They are well worth having though. In
really bad storms, I still get sick even with them but feel fine if I
can lie down.

Funny, isn't it - they're the only ones that don't make me drowsy.
Anything else and I'm out for a few hours!
