Combating Motion and Seasickness

You should anticipate some rough seas. Therefore we suggest that you ask your physician to prescribe for your phenergan (promethazine) 25mg tablets as this has shown in scientific studies and real-time experience on ships to be the best medicine to prevent seasickness. Before you leave home please read the dosage instructions, because to be effective most preventive seasickness medicine must be ingested while you are still feeling well. Please carry enough medication for the duration of the voyage.

The motion sickness medication that is available on board is for emergencies only. To avert motion sickness, avoid alcohol, tobacco, excess liquids, and confined spaces. Most people feel better on deck looking at the horizon or lying still with their eyes shut. You will definitely feel better with some food in your stomach, such as dry toast or crackers.
