Wore patch for 1st cruise w/o issue. Definite dry mouth. Did have moderate waves one night (7-14 ft), DH was green up at disco (top front of ship), me fine.
2nd cruise I changed patch midcruise, and think I got some on my finger which then found its way onto my contact--OMG...lost a day on that cruise, so dizzy & lightheaded. Gave up on the patch & was fine the rest of the cruise.
Didn't even bother for our last cruise, and was fine. Have heard that the more you cruise, often the less of an issue seasickness is. (in otherwords you may have problems on first cruise, and not so much on further cruises).
Thing is, you never know. Be prepared. But trust me, cruise ships are WELL prepared with a variety of solutions for this one (dramamine, sea bands, ginger, green apples, shots...don't know if they carry patches, though. May be wise to have these ahead of time as an alternative)

All were calm cruises, for the most part.
