I have only been on 2 cruises and they were both so long ago that I don't count them...one was Greek islands and one was 3 day cheapo to Mexico. I don't recall being sick on the Greek one but I do remember being sick after the Mexico one (and I wore a patch on the cruise). I get very sick on a ferry type boat to Catalina island. I assume lots has changed in the over 20 years since my last times on the water. Am I right in that ships are more stabilized these days & I am not likely to feel sick? Just in case, I have seen the wrist bands and dramamine and will take them with me. Does it help to start days before you sail?
Experiences? Success stories? This upcoming cruise is Alaska so I don't know if that matters.
