Star Stabilizer....for those just off

[SakeDad]

Was the stabilizer working last week? I know they have been having issues lately.

Just got off the ship on April 16th - the stabilizers were not working according to Captain Lars!

Never mind Captain Lars......according to my STOMACH, they were DEFINITELY not working!

Good to know....I just purchased candied ginger and will take seabands along as well.:rolleyes:

We just got off the Star April 16th as well and we were surprised how rough it was. We had been on the Star in Alaska previously in fairly rough waters and this seemed even worse. One of our waitresses on the last night was even complaining when she tried to pour the water, although she said it's not always that bad. I guess when you see the barf bags out by the elevator, though, you KNOW it's bad!

 

I have bad motion sickness, but 1/2 to 1/4 of a Unisom did the trick for me. That's my OB's remedy for morning sickness and since trying that I have not gotten sick on an airplane or boat since.

I just posted this on our roll call...I have just heard from someone currently on board the Star that the stabilizers are fine! No worries! You know even with stabilizers it can be rough going north from Mexico on up!:cool: I personally like some motion :o Sorry, I know I'm weird!

I'm surprised they use the stabalizers at all, they add drag, and with the price of fuel the way it is....

Stabilizers help, but I have been on several cruises where the barf bags were placed in the common areas. It's the sea, not the ship's equipment that's in control out there. Don't ever forget it!

Even though Captain Lars said stabilizers weren't working, I felt they were just not being used. I have had several friends who went to mexico in the last month on different lines and were told the stabilizers were not being used due to gas prices. So who knows? All i know is the boat was rocking first night and last night. I didn't take anything and I felt fine. Never sick to my stomach but even had to take the hangers down in the closet because they kept clanging together and kept me up all night! Have fun

We did!
