[quote=Anonymous]We put off going on cruises for years for this reason. We booked our first cruise during the summer in Norway. We used NCL and my kids were 8 & 10 at the time. My youngest gets quite motion sick and my husband used to get motion sick. So, we took a 7 day cruise (not a longer one) to see how we would do. We also chose a cruise that was in milder waters. I purchased dramamine for kids and adults, and sea sickness bands. Everyone did beautifully! Enough so that we have now gone on two more cruises and have one booked for this summer. I would strongly advice you keep the cruise short (7 days max) to start and that you pick a location that does not involve a lot of travel in rougher water. We took a 14 day cruise in the winter (of South America) - we did not go to Antartica ...so we did not truly enter Drake's Passage, but we had days with 26 foot waves. You felt everything! My youngest threw up in the lobby of the ship (NCL was lovely about it) and we decided that the rougher water cruises were not for us. The difference between being on a large cruise ship and being on a smaller harbor boat is huge. My youngest gets sick on buses, but except for the one time with the 26 foot waves, has done beautifully on a large cruise ship. I hope this helps![/quote]
