I see the posts on this one but we'll see how long that lasts

I haven't been paying too much attention, just thought it was a slow day.... so I was getting a lot of work done.  =P

I'm pretty sure it's not working.  amh, I saw your post for about half a second and when I clicked it went no where.  So sick of TK's IT department.

I know I replied to it and it dissapeared.
I can tell you now, though, and if this goes away, I will FB you.

Dramamine, or if you're worried about drowsiness, get ginger supplements. Even if you don't normally get sea sick, it's possible on a cruise.

Pepto pills, cause there's a lot to eat, and people get sick on cruises all the time

at least 2 dressy outfits for the dressy dinners

Advil, lots of it. 

A small purse, like this:

(This is the bag I used the whole time. Its perfect for your id or passport, room key, and a compact or something.)

Basically everything CAB said!  I suggested the motion sickness patch that goes behind your ear if you know you tend to get motion sick - I saw a lot of people on our cruise with them and they swore by them.  You have to start it before you go, though, but Dramamine can be used once symptoms start.

I also seconded the Pepto, Immodium, Tums, gas pills - there's a lot of food on cruises, and there's a lot of germs on cruises, so it's totally normal to have stomach upset.  Better to be prepared so you can keep having fun than be stuck tied to the bathroom all day!

Also, earplugs.  The walls are thin sometimes.

Hiiiii! Looks like it's working for me at the moment!

Thanks Cab and Cali - I've actually been hunting for a purse very similar to that for our cruise I'm hitting up Target tonight so hopefully they'll have one I like.
I didn't even think about Pepto, and maybe I can find some non drowsey dramamine, because if not my happy butt will be knocked outttttt. I'm actually packing mostly dresses and maybe 1 pair of shorts, when its hot I just rather be in a dress. I think H told me to pack 2 pretty dresses for the nice dinners
Thanks again!! I really appreciate it!

Look into the ginger pills, those aren't drowsy! But take some non drowsy meds as well, just in case ;)

AMH, you could also see if your doctor will prescribe the Transderm patch if you know you're likely to get motion sick.  It's non-drowsy with very few side effects, except that you have to wear it on your skin the whole time.

AMH- I swear by Ginger.  I haven't tried the supplements, but I eat candied ginger.  You can get it at Whole foods, or Trader Joe's (I like the nuggets from TJ's best).  Ginger and Saltines totally got me through deployments!!

And I just bought this purse for Disney: Clicky

That bag is so cuteeee!

I very rarely get sea sickness - I've been on a boat pretty much since I was a baby. It would definitely be worth the trip to the dr if I thought it'd be bad, but I definitely think I'll take some ginger pills and some general non drowsey dramamine. Thanks again!!
