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.

• We are working on a group cruise to the Med in May of 2011. Prices will be out this June.  I will have a web page devoted to this cruise, the dates, locaton, length and the prices along with pre cruise tour in Rome and perhaps a post cruise tour in Venice. Airfare will also be available.  Check back to see what I found and look at Group Cruises link in the portholes near the top of this page.  Send me an e-mail to be added to this list of those interested in going with us.
