They're actually wristbands, not bracelets. Supposedly they work because they massage the main acupucnture point that directly affects your nausea center. I haven't used them, but friends of mine have and say they work. However, I have massaged that point on my wrists for nausea and it has had a good effect. I can't describe the point to you, but I bet you'll find it with a little snooping on the web for acupuncture points.

Hi Janet, <BR>I tried the wristbands, dremadine (not sure of spelling)and neither seemed to help. But I seem to suffer with extreme motion sickness. The ship's doctor suggested I come down to the main deck or lower of the ship and that seemed to help me. My cabin was high up on the Penthouse level at the rear of the ship. Next time I am staying lower on the ship and midship. I've been told that helps. I also plan to get the ear patch next time. Have a good cruise.

Janet, ginger capsules are great if you don`t want any drug side effects, they are sold at all health food stores, start taking 2 a day a couple of days before you board. I also get bothered with land sickness after a cruise so I continue to take the ginger for 2 or 3 days post cruise, good luck and happy sailing.

Thank you everyone for your replies. <BR> <BR>I have the Sea Bands, non-drowsy Dramamine and a prescription from my doctor for the behind the ear patch. <BR> <BR>I will also pick up the ginger tablets. <BR> <BR>I think I will start out trying the ginger and Sea Bands and if I feel sick I will switch to the drugs. <BR> <BR>We leave on Sunday, Sept. 17. Thanks again.
