News & Information

We have selected a date for our 2011 Mediterannean cruise.  Click onto Group cruises for info!

 

For those going on any of our cruises, here is a tip on what medicine to take with you.

The following is just a suggestion.  Consult your Doctor first.  The items listed are over-the-counter.

For Nausea-  Emetrol If you go to the Doctor on the ship with intestinal issues, you may get quarantined.   Take the Emetrol for relief of nausea due to upset stomach from intestinal flu, stomach flu and food or drink indiscretions.

For motion sickness:  Bonine. It does not make you sleepy, you can take it with alcohol without difficulty and it works in about 30 minutes.  Take it only when you feel you need it.   Do not do the “Patch” or Dramamine as they both will make your drowsy and with alcohol, will knock you out.  They are both long lasting.

Bonine----All Day Protection. Meclizine Hydrochloride - Antiemetic. The Once-A-Day Travel Tablet.

  • Prevents Motion Sickness.
  • Causes Less Drowsiness.

Bonine works up to 4 times longer and causes less drowsiness than original dramamine. Bonine protects travelers against air, sea and car sickness for up to 24 hours. Available in a convenient chewable tablet, Bonine can be taken without liquids - anytime, anywhere.

 

Both items are available across the counter at your drug store.

ABOUT US

Getman Cruise & Travel was developed in 2004. Ron had been creating and escorting groups since the 1980’s as an outside agent, and decided to start his own at-home travel business to give the type of service his clients deserve on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. While many Internet sites promise special deals, travelers are often unaware of restrictions, exceptions, add on fees and fine print. Making the right choices based on price alone is not always the best course of action for travelers. We hear too many stories of travelers regretting that they didn’t call us first. While many shop for a cheap price, a cheap experience is not desired.

We recognized the need for experienced agents in the Internet age. While many succumb to the pressure of bargain Internet sites, we know the value of guidance from knowledgeable and experienced travel professionals. So we leveraged our expertise to create a niche for Getman Cruise & Travel. Ron knew that travelers would appreciate the values of a full-service travel agency. Many travelers learned that they actually saved money by seeking the help of an experienced travel professional. Ron wanted to highlight this fact and decided to start his agency.
