The Cruise...


I went on a 4 day cruise to the Caribbean last week that took me to Turks and Caicos Islands. Since it was my first time on a large cruise ship, I wasn't sure about seasickness. Twice before I experienced day cruises on smaller vessels and one did 'bring up' breakfast later in the afternoon.
Always prepared, I had 2 kinds of medicine for seasickness expecting the worst. Taking half doses of Dramamine for the first 48 hours, I experienced no affects of nausea and decided medicine wasn't needed. The weather was great and there were times I completely forgot we were at sea.
The food was great... small portions but you could order more if you wanted. The problem there was the timing as we had little chance for another round and make it to the planned events. Broadway shows, comedians, magicians, first run movies, so there was always something going on. During the day, live music in the rotunda and a Calypso band poolside.
Did I mention the food? I gained 5 pounds. Despite walking a few miles on the boat, I still gained five pounds.

I bought ginger anti-seasickness pills. The idea of candy sounds much better!
