Hi everyone! DH and I will be setting sail in two short months on Carnival Liberty....it's the first time for DH so it should be very interesting!!! He gets motion sickness if his bath water moves too much - I hope he can handle it!!!

Looks like a great place to hang out! I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody. Thanks for having me!

Hey SeaWench! Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

I do hope your DH is looking forward to his first cruise! Have you talked about what sea sickness prevention your DH will be using? There are a few options to help him enjoy the cruise without mal de mer.

Head on over to the Carnival forum and meet the folks there. Here is the link--> Carnival Cruise Line. Check to see if there is a roll call while you're there.

Holler if you need any help.

aboard.
I was very worried about seasickness before our first cruise, shouldn't have worried at all.
Never have had the slightest problem.
As Char said, if you need any help just holler

Hi SeaWench and welcome to CLF. Where in North Carolina do you live? My DH (Bob) and I are from Flat Rock, outside of Hendersonville.

If we can answer any questions you might have, please let us know.

Hello and WELCOME!!!!!!!!!
You will enjoy this place and your cruise. We are in Charleston, SC now, but we did live in Mars Hill for almost 10 years. My middle sister stills lives in Leicester and we visit her often. If you have any questions there is plenty of good cruising folks here to help.Do write a review when you get back and have a chance

I tend to get motion sickness (can't read in a moving car or train), but I took to cruising very well. If the ship gets rocking, I get myself a ginger ale, which helps. Our last cruise was on a notoriously rough sea cruise so we booked midships (which is the best place for your dh is you can get it) and I took ginger flavored Altoids along with candied ginger when I started getting woozy. Of course, my hubby and little girl aren't bothered at all. Go figure.

My mother is one of the worst travelers I know when it comes to motion sickness. But when my sister insisted she take a cruise with her, my mother got a patch from her doctor, and didn't have any problems at all.

Just have your husband check with his doctor about recommendations and pack at least a couple of those after trying them out on land beforehand.

Maybe he'll enjoy himself so much on the cruise that he'll be picking out the next cruise while onboard.
