Sea Sickness and Cruise Medication

[RooFlyer]

Ondansetron is another name for zofran. It was prescribed by our vet as a preventative (anti nausea).

Interesting! I wasn’t expecting it to be prescribed but the GP just added it on after the preventative medication ‘just in case’ vomiting had somehow started.

Been on 2 cruises now

I treat it like a bus swerving round a corner fast. Let your body flow with the sideways and up and down rocking movement while it goes on

One of the guys said he walked 1km in a minute. Forward motion lol

Everyone seems to have forgotten ginger. Both Silversea and Crystal have bowls of it out as you exit the restaurant.
I always take it but because I just like it not for sea sickness.

100%, ginger is the way to go, as a huge suffer from seasickness, having ginger 4 times a day has been awesome, for the biggest of seas.
We were put onto it from a much more authoritative source, than scientists - Myth Busters What their video as they trial the options.
Our go to is "Buderim Ginger Travellers Friends Ginger Chews" you can get these in bulk from the ginger factory and as they are individually wrapped, you can take the exact number you need for your cruise.
Happy sailing

I also take the ginger because I like it, not for nausea.
On Silversea I have had the ginger tea made with fresh ginger which has been quite pleasant.

maybe take a slab of ginger root on cruises?

I am toying with that idea (or at least buying some over there). A decent slice of ginger forms part of my morning fresh squeezed juice (carrots, tomato, lemon or limes, apple, celery).
