We just got back from our first ever cruise, Alaska. We loved it!! We did an OBB placeholder but have no idea what we would want to use it on. With the new itineraries being released I want to decide if we would enjoy any of those.
When there was land on both sides of us the boat was calm. We could tell we were moving but everyone found a way to feel fine, (looking aft made us feel worse if we looked out, watching the water fly past from our deck 2 window when sailing faster had to be avoided) On the part where it's open to the ocean and the captain warned the seas would be rougher, 2 of our party did not feel so well. Slept fine but moving about the ship was quite bothersome to them. Or sitting watching the shows. They tried Sea bands and still felt rough. Didn't try meds. They both also felt ill on parts of the Skagway train ride.
The servers told us we definitely wouldn't like a Panama Canal cruise then as that can get quite rough when out in the open Pacific. Said even the crew sometimes has to go lay down on those. No thanks!!
How do other routes compare to Alaska in terms of boat motion? Carribean, Mediterranean, East Canada, Norway?
3/6 of us were nervous going into this cruise knowing we easily get motion sick. 4/6 of us tolerated it fine. The other 2 aren't sure they can take a rough sea day if we cruise again.
Thanks for any comparison! We don't want to drop the cash of DCL and have people feel sick for most of it.
