Paulapoo,
You reminded me that both times we have gone to Alaska, the first day at sea was very rough. The first time we went, I put on a scopalamine patch before we left port. I'd never been on a cruise ship before, but I always get sea sick in smaller boats, so I was taking no chances - but my big strong hubby was having none of that seasick patch.
Well, the first day we woke up and went to breakfast. It was rough, and you could feel the ship rocking. I looked at my hubby and he was green. We went right back to the room, he put on a patch and went to bed. He was OK the rest of the trip.
This last trip, he went ahead and put on the patch the first day like me. Sure enough the next morning, it was rougher than the first trip we took. Many many people were sick.
I don't think the Caribbean cruises are as rough - but the waters getting from Vancouver to the Inside Passage of Alaska can be quite wavey! My motto is, "be prepared"
