Doing 10 days from UK to USA. Have done many cruises in the caribbean and never felt sick with motion, is it different on open see, the atlantic ocean... quite concerned about those 5 days navigating.
parrotmon, was the motion of the sea most intense?

One evening we hit a major storm...the Captain outran it and because of the stabilizers or whatever system they had it didn't seem to bother me too much. On the other hand the rocking of the ship (we were on Deck 8) before I fell asleep made me want to remember where my life jacket was. Another ship, a Princess, we had heard lot 6 windows. Would I do it again...absolutely, but not on RCL..EVER BTW I do have a tendency to be seasick and was quite prepared.

You have been wonderful...

Hi..I have something that I have picked up inBermuda called Sturgeron (also available in London)...it iswhat the yachtsmen use. On top of that I take ginger tablets-available at a health food store (remember whenyou got flat gingerale from your mother when you were sick)..If you buy something here look to make sure it's a non-drowsy formula.. Also, if your doing RC transfers...be aware when we went to Harwich it was complete chaos...thousands of people waiting in line to sign in... even though we were on a bus..I think it was at least a two h0ur ride from London with a grumpy driver. When I saw the area with thousands waiting I should have known that RC didnt have their act together...it was a nightmare. BUT their rep in London was quite helpful.. BTW make reservations and you can on line to take a tour of Buckingham Palace..it's opened while your there...it's an incredible experience. For more info please write..
