I took my Mom on a Carnival cruise out of Galveston several years ago and only one day it was tossing a bit, but not a hint of seasickness for me! Bonine works for me now on whale-watching and snorkeling trips, and doesn't make me sleepy like Dramamine does. Hope you get to hobnob with the puffins one day.

We'll have to get some Bonine (if it's available here) and find out whether that helps V fend off seasickness. Good to hear about it. We hadn't even looked for an alternative to Dramamine, and V isn't the most susceptible in her family. If it works for her, a relative or two may want to try it too.

Scopolamine is a prescription drug that's also supposed to help with motion sickness. I've never tried it, though.

Thanks, good to know. These days we would hesitate to ask for a GP appointment to get a prescription that is a luxury rather than a necessity. We don't have to get V onto a boat. It's optional. But if we find that we do need to take a ferry or ship or boat somewhere, it's helpful to know what to ask for.
