I've cruised Bermuda and both the Eastern and Western Caribbean. The only queasiness I ever felt was leaving Bermuda and heading back into the open water. I've heard that if you are going to feel motion, that is the place you will feel it. The ship set out 'bags' all along the hallways and I took one but fortunately did not use it. I did have to miss dinner though (couldn't take the smell of warm food emanating from the dining room).

In my experience, if you are prone to seasickness, AVOID getting an interior room. You do feel the motion more there. Get at least a window if not a balcony. And try to get a stateroom in the middle of the ship; the back if you must. The front half of the ship tends to move more.

Bonine is the best pill to take; ginger works too.

Have a wonderful time, wherever you choose to go. I think you'll be surprised at how little movement you actually feel on the ship.
