Our first cruise was on the SS Veracruz in 1983. It was our honeymoon. We left Tampa headed for Playa del Carmen in the rain and then stormy seas by evening. I did not feel well at dinner and had to leave our table of six that included two other honeymoon couples. Medicated patches were not available in the U.S at that time so Dramamine was the next best thing. I felt better the next day and enjoyed the beach. That evening it was my husband who was not feeling well, he was sunburned, so we never made it in to Cozumel to party with our table mates. Things did get better, but I was anxious to be off of the ship and I told my husband I would never cruise again. Needless to say we have been on 16 cruises since our honeymoon and looking forward to 3 cruises this year!
