On a recent Viking Ocean cruise, I forgot to bring meclizine/bonine. I went to the medical center and it was given out free. I was told Guest Services also has a supply for guests. From past experience, I won't use a scopolamine patch. Besides the 'dry mouth' issue, I felt nauseous for several hours while back on land after patch removal (a side effect for some). I have not had this response with meclizine/bonine. With meclizine/bonine the trick seems to be taking it -before- you are seasick.
