Drug-free Ways To Prevent Seasickness On Your Next Cruise
Nothing can ruin a day at sea faster than being stuck in bed with seasickness and missing out on a trip you paid money for. Whether you’re on a relaxing cruise, fishing trip, or ferry ride, motion sickness can strike even the most experienced travelers. When my wife embarked on a mother-daughter cruise to Mexico, the weather app showed clear skies. However, leftover rough waves from a distant tropical storm had the boat rocking a lot more than usual. In just a matter of hours, the trip went from fun to foul.
Most larger, modern cruise ships are equipped with stabilizers to reduce rocking, but even slight tilts can make some passengers feel unsteady. It doesn’t happen every trip, but if you’re like us and don’t want to spend your time battling nausea, it’s essential to pack prepared.
Classic options like Dramamine and Bonine are helpful, but they often cause drowsiness. If you DO buy them, learn from my mistake and get non-drowsy. Fortunately, newer and more advanced options exist—including high-tech wearables—that can help you combat motion sickness.
Innovative Wearables to Prevent Motion Sickness
Wearable technology has transformed the way we prevent motion sickness. These devices are drug-free, making them a popular choice for travelers who want to stay alert and nausea-free. They’re versatile enough to use on cruise ships, ferries, road trips, and even roller coasters.

Reliefband works in 85% of consumers, according to our clinical trials.
SEA-BAND NAUSEA RELIEF is another option when it comes to preventing motion sickness. These aren’t as high-tech as the ReliefBand, but does offer another wearable solution that’s also drug-free.
