Seas were 2-4’ that day, mind you, which is not that much. Still back-and-forth, but now also front-to-back and even up and down like a plane hitting wild turbulence.
At this point, the movement subtly began to change. I went and tried in vain to find someone who actually worked there, but only found a security person who just kind of shrugged at me. Everyone around us was complaining about it. The casino opened, and my friend and I made our way down to the first deck where most of the slot machines were.įirst problem – It was *extremely* warm down there.
It’s about an hour and a half out before the casino can open, and while the ship was certainly rocking at this point, it was a manageable back-and-forth rocking that only served to make us pleasantly drowsy as we waited to gamble. If I had taken the whole bottle, I don’t think it would have helped. Even so, I took motion sickness pills for two nights before this little adventure, 'just to be safe.' Let me preface this by saying I have grown up on boats of all kinds, am an avid cruiser, and am generally more comfortable on water than on land. Was on the May 20th sailing, and it was easily one of the worst experiences of my life.
