You are going to have a great Time... Our smart world traveling friend that went with us on our trip advise David & I to start taking BONINE a few days before our trip to get it into our system to prevent motion sickness. I'm so glad we listen because by the time we boarded the ship we had no drowness at all and the only time I was sea sick is when I stopped taking the pills.. Don't depend on the Meds on the ship, when I needed that shot they were totally out! Trust me, that advice from my buddy was the best ever and yes I was able to drink with the medication with zero side effects.
