B-but we make sure to carry meds with us just in case.

[@noelreynolds4861]

Now that's what I'm talking about! You didn't show the video unlike so many others. You sir, have class!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thanks Noel!

[@harvesttable77]

Agreed. His channel is #1.

[@paulacairns6846]

I've never had sea sickness but my husband has. One time I went to the shop on board & bought some Dramamine. I hopped on the elevator & the ship's Dr. was in the elevator. He asked who was sick & I told him my husband. He told me to take it back to the shop & exchange it for Bonine which is supposed to be better. It doesn't cause drowsiness either! So now I take it with us on all cruises!

[@judygibson760]

A Yes and it’s been life changing. I get very bad motion sickness so this is what I do. Two weeks before the cruise I start taking ginger pills once a day. Once the cruise starts I continue with the ginger pills and/or Dramamine (in Canada the brand name is Gravol). Before the ship departs I take a ginger gravol then a regular gravol before bed. I do this for the entire cruise and I’ve never been sea sick, even on the roughest days. Highly recommend.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Judy! Thanks so much for this input!!

[@judygibson760]

@@TheTravelScouts You’re welcome!! Love your channel by the way. My husband and I are huge cruisers and I look forward to your updates and news.

[@RJ_Reaganspaw]

B. Great question. Here's my story sharing: My wife and I were preparing for our first cruise ever. It was a 15 night cruise from Florida to California thru the Panama Canal. Neither of us have ever had motion sickness in the past, but we had never been on a ship before. We decided not to worry about it and figured the ship's health center would have anything that we may need. The first night of our cruise, we went into a storm with 14 foot swells. We were rocking a rolling, but we both slept like teenagers...long and hard. Not a bad start at all. We've been on 7 more cruises since without a problem. Thanks to both you and your bride for your service.

[@heleneboisvert-gravelle8081]

Yes. I always have ginger gravol on hand. It works effectively and does not make you groggy like regular gravol. Ginger capsules also work.

[@marieforcier5898]

I loved the rough seas. I treated the stairs as a carnival ride. Didn’t have to lift my feet. So sorry though for those that suffer.

[@tilliehoward9336]

I always go outside and look toward the horizon, when the ship is in motion.. So my eyes sends a signal to my brain that I am moving. Never fails. Have taught many clients to do the same thing.

[@rickh6963]

That is exactly right! I was in the U.S. Navy for 10 years and when a new sailor came aboard that is the advice I gave them, it almost always worked. After a few minutes at the rail they were fine.

[@mariepowell2320]

A. Always. On a ship right now in the North Atlantic with a storm and 65 mph gusts last night. Glad to have it when it's needed.

[@caroleisfeld1554]

Jason you news updates are by far the best on KZbin. I watch a lot of cruise KZbin channels and yours is the best keep up the good work.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Carol! You are so kind. Thank you!

[@lorrainet6798]

B - fortunately never had that problem, even on a Disney cruise once when we sailed through some large swells. Certainly cleared the dining room that night 😊

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Lorraine! I am glad to hear it. I have never had any issues either. Kellie does sometimes if the waters get rough. Thanks for commenting!

[@RJ_Reaganspaw]

I think I was on that cruise with you.

[@bkmartin1958]

A. My wife always has a bottle of Motion Eaze with her. Not only does it take care of her motion sickness, it helps with her anxiety attacks. A small drop smeared behind each ear and in five minutes she is fine.

[@gopherdawg3457]

Where do you find Motion Ease. ??? My sister experiences rough travel sickness.

[@hangingwiththehowards]

​@gopherdawg3457 Walmart or Amazon. It's my go-to that I tell everyone about too. Works immediately and lasts.

[@KimAwada-ey1xl]

A. I use Rx patches, 1 patch every 3 days.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Kim! Thank you for your input! I hope you have a great day and week!

[@randijaffe-7665]

B - my husband used to take a Bonnine, 1 hr prior to leaving port. If you use a transderm patch, try ahead of time to be sure no side effects- I used one prior to a surgery to avoid post operative nausea- it caused an extremely fast heart rate and removed - problem is it’s long acting as well. A neighbor had similar issues recently and also had dilated pupils making sun exposure very hard even with sunglasses. Try ginger, green apples, well hydrate and limit alcohol. Also- small meals of dry carbs- crackers, pretzels, etc no greasy heavy foods!

[@lorrainekelton6425]

B. Not a problem for me even going through the Drake Passage.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Lorraine! That is super! (Side note: The Drake Passage is on my bucket list!)

[@lorrainekelton6425]

Try and cruise to Antarctica. It is awesome.​@@TheTravelScouts

[@nonaloeffler308]

Yes I use the sea bands on the wrist. put them on the day before and I have never gotten sick...

[@jeaniebranconi3319]

Yes, Antivert if I have nausea and vertigo.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Jeanie! Thanks for the input!

[@1parkecy1]

B. I have spent a large portion of my life on boats..all kinds of sizes. Never been an issue thank goodness. I do bring motion sickness meds and wrist pressure point bands. Also, ginger chews. Just in case that ever changes. 😊

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Cynthia! That is great. I have not had issues with seasickness yet either. But, as you noted, that could change. Thanks for your input!!

[@stevengoff1152]

Yes, I wear SEA BANDS

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Steven! Thank you so much for your input!

[@stevengoff1152]

@@TheTravelScouts you're so very welcome. The only effect I get from seasickness is extreme dizziness above and beyond the dizziness i experience every day as a result of brain damage from 13 surgeries because of hydrocephalus. My nephew however got really seasick and sea bands helped him tremendously. I truly enjoy y'all's cruise vlogs and the fact that yall them with God at the Center. God Bless Y'all always.

[@StephenRufle]

Yes. We always use Bonine. We start the day before and sometime the day after to get our land legs back.

[@happycruiser]

Thank you for not showing the person going overboard. Other channels have not shown that amount of class.

[@andrearoberts2776]

Yes, I use meds for seasickness. Either bonine or a scolpolamine patch work well for me. I tried once to go without it. We hit rough seas and I got pretty sick until the meds kicked in. Lesson learned.

[@audreythompson5123]

A yes. My husband can get motion sickness, so I researched what to use besides the patch and Dramamine. We tried the ideas and stuck with it on each cruise and it works. We start taking 4 Ginger root pills per day two weeks before the cruise and then continue this regimen while on the cruise. We also take Ginger candy and Ginger Ale on ship. The times my husband felt sick he drank the soda and ate the candy. Within 15 minutes he felt better

[@janesmith2416]

A yes, and its MotionQ natural patches, and I always get a balcony cabin so when I feel nasty i just go out and get fresh air and acclimate my brain and it works!

[@esophagealmusings50]

B No. I have never been seasick--in fact I love the days with rough seas. My stomach is made of iron.

[@casanthiachilders3886]

A yes eat granny smith green apples while on ship, it works.

[@corneliusdavis8666]

B. I usually do larger ships and choose my cabin in the center if the ship on the middle deck level for a minimal to no motion sickness issues.

[@michellechino-kelly2935]

A Yes - I always take Bonine (Meclazine) the day we depart and a couple of days after. By then I don't feel a thing. (Im the type who can get seasick watching TV so I swear by this). Love your channel!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Michelle! Very good input! And, thank you for your kind words!!

[@janetkubas-furnish9253]

A. Yes. I use Bonine or Dramamine the non-drowsy form. I need to take one before I go on the cruise ship but within a day I usually have my sea legs and I don't need to take it after a day or two.

[@yelystanich5834]

A: yes I always use the patch scapoline. Works great. I have severe motion sickness and this controls it during the cruise

[@LINDALOGAN-yq2br]

A- yes. I take Bonine at the first sign of rocking or when the captain announces upcoming waves or storm. Before my very first cruise I tried it at home to see how it made me feel and to be sure it did not make me sleepy.

[@Swedeweez]

Yes, I do take precautions against seasickness. I either use the patch or take Dramamine.

[@TinkMoments]

A Yes, I wear sea bands, which is a type of bracelet that goes around your wrist and has pressure points to counteract sea sickness.

[@deborahwedickcooper2751]

B, not a problem since my first cruise. I do bring just in case medication.

[@juliebrewer5719]

A. I take ginger a couple days before as well as 1st day. Motioneze oil behind the ear if needed

[@liztrumble9238]

A - yes. We start taking Bonine 2 days before departure and then every day during the cruise.

[@samanthaaskey]

I am in the UK and always enjoy your content. As I cannot fly I normally sail from Southampton. I just wanted to say a sincere thank you for NOT showing the footage of someone going overboard. It made me very appreciative of your care for your viewers as well as those involved.

[@mustangkarrie]

A- not most of the time. But we went across the Drake passage and I had some trouble. That’s when we found out that that is why there are green apples always sitting out in the buffet. Green apples are excellent for seasickness.

[@DavidWickham-m9g]

B. Raised near a lake and fished on a great lake.. never have been sea sick.. actually love to sleep during waves

[@jeffreyhoward6793]

Yes, only because I've heard some people say that if the ship is in rough seas, sea sickness could occur, but I have not used anything as of yet.

[@dcagnolatti]

B. No problem on large ships. The movement is hardly noticeable.

[@Bum_Hip]

A, I am very sensitive to seasickness, so I take a daily Bonine. No problems motion sickness since I started taking it.

[@dollykapp4742]

A, green apples do help also ginger is good.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Dolly! Thank you so much for your input!

[@ChristinaBickley]

A. My husband takes Bonine. If he becomes seasick, green apples seem to help.

[@billyfearon941]

B go up to the top deck and look at the horizon let your eyes get adjusted to it and it will help for sea sickness

[@Gybing]

I never get seasick so B, No. But my husband sometimes do and his remedy is to sleep. He said it works well for him.

[@jimandmarsha]

A - We have our doctor prescribe Scopolamine patches that are placed behind the ear. Each patch is good for 3 days and they work great. The only drawback is that they can give you a dry mouth. Thanks for the wonderful news videos. Blessings!

[@carsonwilkinson7891]

B. We have never been sea sick. My wife was age 5 for her first cruise on the Pacific with her family on a US Navy transport and many trips with me as adults. I was in my 40s to hit the ocean but have many hours on the Great Lakes in vessels from 18’ to 110’.

[@jimlang4598]

A - we love the Scopolamine (aka Scope) patches behind the ear. they work great!

[@barbaralazier8352]

A -I can get seasick on a glass sea. I take meds first thing in the morning and just before going to bed. The regular doses keep me very happy. I also find those bus trips with sharp turns and hills just as problematic

[@GageGatlyn]

Yes. I get patches from my doctor to put behind my ear. Never cruise without them.

[@dhoward5941]

Yes! We take ginger chews, patches that you put behind your ear and medication that is over the counter. We have never gotten sea sick but it's better to be ready than to not have anything!

[@diannebrideson2368]

A. Yes. I take bonine on embarkation and daily after that. I do this since becoming seasick on a Disney cruise in 2011 when we went through a storm. It was awful and even crew were sick. So now I take something every morning of the cruise.

[@billyfearon941]

I missed a couple episodes. I did not realize but thank you both for your service.

[@ae6888]

A. I usually bring Dramamine or Bonnie with me to have on hand, and initially wore Sea Bands for the first day or two on board. Fortunately, I never have any issues with the sickness and only keep these things on hand for emergencies

[@mirandabowman4824]

B. I don’t do anything for an ongoing treatment of seasickness. However I have experienced on a couple occasions so I am prepared with Dramamine if needed.

[@lauramendez6075]

A. Yes, I took my first cruise this year & I took ginger pills the first 3 days just to be on the safe side but after that it was smooth sailing & no medication was taken.

[@reneearends-ok2vb]

Yes, meclizine, ginger, sea bands.

[@MichaelJo-AnnSchroeder]

Yes; I use a Relief Band

[@kimkircher4025]

As a precautionary measure I take ginger on the ship and get a green apple from the buffet. I don’t get sea sick generally.

[@jeremymartin6791]

Yes- I make sure I have meds and wristbands. I don’t have an issue with this, but it’s a good idea to have it with you just in case.

[@jworth7203]

Thanks for the video! I never get seasick but my son does. We use the seabands and meclazine for him. I also have him eat green apples, ginger snaps and crusty bread.

[@barryrankin587]

No - I have never have had any issues with sea sickness, but my wife does on occasion. She uses sea sickness patches when needed.

[@timothysemelsberger548]

Yes I always use the patches that go behind the ear they really work!!

[@jacolen3791]

No surprise that Carnival is on top of that list. B: No, I am an avid boater and a Licensed Cost Guard Captain but I have been seas sick on two occasions. My wife however does take Dramamine when we go out. When we went on our European cruises she stepped things up and got a prescription for Scopolamine and never had an issue.

[@Steven-er2bt]

B We're fortunate as we had 17 foot waves on Celebrity Silhouette and we were both fine but my wife's brother and wife (in cabin next to us) were both sick.

[@manomanohman9156]

We just booked an excursion with Shore Excursions Group for our upcoming cruise. Thank you for the recommendation, we will let you know how it went.

[@guyparker8359]

A - sort of. We don't usually have a problem with seasickness, but sometimes our stomachs are a little queesy, and when that happens we have mint tea. It was suggested on one of our cruises and we enjoyed it immensely and have found it to help when that slight queasiness occurs...

[@tinaanderson5454]

Yes, I use dramamine and the wrist bands.

[@LottiePatrick-d7o]

Yes sometimes. I use ginger root.

[@josephrusso2645]

A, find my way to the part of the ship with the highest ceiling. Usually a lower level. Stay out of cabin.

[@KazXa13]

A: Yes! I get seasick everytime & rely on anything from ginger tablets to meclizine - but still love cruising

[@bettiewatson2949]

B. Ive been very blessed to never needed anything in all my cruises, but always have something with me just in case❤️

[@40series]

A . I always cruse with a first aid kit . I don't get sea sickness but you never know. If I see a fellow cruiser that's in distress I lend a hand so they don't have to pay the ridiculous price on the ship. Happy cruising. Thanks for your wonderful channel

[@vincentclausen2250]

A. Never had a problem on a cruise ship, but we do bring GHIN GHIN just in case. We get on a smaller boat, scuba, tenders etc

[@kathypuckett5514]

A & B for me I don't do anything but my husband has to use a prescription seasick patch every cruise. The only time I felt weird was when we got bad weather.

[@kbinflorida7457]

A. Yes. I take Meclizine. Very inexpensive, no side effects, take 1 chewable pill first thing in the morning and I'm good for the day.

[@carolynnmathisen8754]

YES! Zofran generic works wonders. Now that the generic is available the price is very reasonable but you need a prescription for it

[@georgegarich252]

B.... I have never had a problem with that. I have been on USNS Ships in the North Atlantic in December.

[@susannewman5103]

Yes I take precautions for sea sickness I wear the bands on my wrists and take Bonnie every night Works for me 😊

[@denisewatson5504]

A yes Used to use & keep on hand the sea bands wrist bands; were quite effective & comfortable; don’t need them anymore

[@gatorghost-live]

B. No, have never been affected, but my wife does use prescription patches for motion sickness when onboard

[@mickiesadventures]

B. Fortunately I haven’t any issues with sea sickness but I travel with ginger candy, and less drowsy Dramamine for those who may need it, as I travel with friends, and family. Ginger candy seems to work very well for most

[@Pennyeq]

A-we have used the patch, Dramamine and had the best results with Gravol found at Wal-mart or Amazon.

[@yolandamolina7914]

A. Yes, I take preventative steps prior to disembarkment. I take bonine before bed every night. I do not get sea sick but I suffer after the cruise, it takes about 3 to 4 days to get my land legs back. I've noticed that after my last few cruises I didn't suffer from MDds because of the preventative steps I took.

[@howardosden3112]

Weirdly, I've sailed on two of these jumpers ships, both the NCL Spirit and the RCCL Explorer of the Seas (twice). I liked the ships. Prayers for the families of these lost souls.

[@MrFlyboy1966]

A yes we use seababands but I personally have never experienced seasickness even on chartered fishing trips

[@Belinda-BJ]

thank you for complete break down of the crimes numbers and how the numbers can vary by ship size etc . I just watched another vlogger who only gave the total numbers. if I had not seen your report those numbers would have been scary to me to want to keep cruising.

[@kelligreene6430]

B - thankfully neither me nor my husband have ever had an issue with sea or motion sickness

[@happytailsawagon]

Bonine works so great - I was the only one on the ferry in Cozumel not throwing up. People called it the vomit comit

[@megaman7918]

A I always wear my Seabands and take a sea sickness otc medication about 30 mins before I board on embarkation and during breakfast on cruising days

[@monicasculley3351]

Relief band for seasickness no side effects and works great

[@marywarren739]

B-Fortunately I have only been seasick once. I have been on a few cruises since then, where the seas were rougher and I was fine.

[@LizMelanese]

A. We bring several motion sickness items with us, wrist bands and otc motion sickness pills just in case. Only had to use them once several years ago during a storm.

[@KarenEverett-u2x]

A. We always take Dramamine with ginger as a precaution for the first couple of days.

[@mlferg]

B … last time I got seasick was on a Navy destroyer back in ‘72. Never have used any products or treatments.

[@laurensweeny4513]

À I use the wristbands on the pressure point. I also bring a cane to use as my third leg for stability in rough weather. I Keep ginger tea and ginger chews/ gum.

[@jackiehaserick2984]

A…. If I get sick I drink a Ginger Ale at room temperature. A bartender gave me this tip and it works. Just make sure it is at room temperature. I keep one or two in our cabin to be safe.

[@suepalmer9427]

A. Yes we always take Bonine with us. Our son suffers from severe seasickness and the Bonine work amazingly for him without drowsiness

[@chrisburns3250]

No B.we have been through some very rough season and never needed to take anything. Not even felt queasy.
