I haven’t been on a cruise since high school, but several of my friends and family members have been encouraging me to try it again.  They say it has changed a great deal.  The ships are bigger, so I will be less likely to get seasick and the methods for overcoming any motion sickness are also much improved.  Seabands and non-drowsy dramamine  should do the trick for most travelers. I know I have had good luck using both on the four hour ferry ride across Lake Michigan in rough weather, however I think I would as my doctor about the Transderm-Scop patch as well.

So I have put “Cruise” back on my list of vacations ideas and need to start compiling a checklist of what to pack for a cruise.  I know motion sickness preventatives will be first on my list, but am hoping my friends along with a few readers will help me figure out what else I need to take.
