Dragging myself out of bed. Been laying here for a while. Going to see if a breakfast burrito can settle my stomach. 

 

Diamond lunch at 12:30 so don't want to fill up on too much but do want to put something in my belly.

[jam19872016]

Nope had to make a mad dash back to my room. I'm going to lay back down. I have an alarm set for the diamond lunch.

That was a very nice meal and everything I ate was very good. Starting to feel better sitting in the midship dining room but out and about already feeling woozy again.

 

Gonna casino with my mom if I can stay upright.

Yikes.

[jam19872016]

I didn't last long and it was back to the room to lay down. The ship was very quiet for a sea day so I suspect that a lot of people are stuck in bed too. The ship is really being tossed around.

 

Going to get up and get ready for dinner now.

[jam19872016]

Just kidding. Back in bed.

[balcony bound]

Wow.  So sorry.  Glad this is a long vacation for you and hope you have lots of good days ahead.

Thank you. Agreed if this was only five days I would be bummed. Many royal ships diverted to western and I find myself wishing we had done the same.

This might be the earliest I've ever had the safety briefing. The ship is really rattling and I'm pretty far forward and not on a low deck. One of the worst vibrations I've experienced and I don't remember this from January.

 

I'm gonna sit out sailaway as this bed is so darn comfy and I was not expecting to pull out so soon. This bed is going to be dangerous and I know not to lay down in it in the evening unless I want to be sucked into an early nights sleep. Seriously, so comfy.

The rattling should come w/some rocking/rolling (softer version of the vibrations), so you should be able to just "rock" to sleep!! Comfy bed it becomes like an adult crib, lol.

Enjoy!!

You need to get some Bonine to help that sea sickness!

I second this! I don't often get seasick but there was one day last year on Mardi Gras we had some rough weather. Fortunately my DIL had some Bonine ginger pills and it worked great. I only had to take one that day but now I take a box on every cruise just in case. We live on the beach in Cape Canaveral and the waves are pretty big right now.

My bed is oriented the wrong direction I think I've read that impacts the rocking sensation. Not sure if that's the case but it's certainly not comforting lol. It's also not really a rocking but rather an up and down sensation as the ships goes over the waves.
