There are a lot of articles that we can read about tips on how to pack for a cruise and the must-have items that we need to make our trip as hassle and stress-free as possible. As we all know, motion sickness is very common to travelers during a cruise. But due to excitement, we sometimes tend to forget the most important thing that we must bring - the Transderm Scop patch.

This is not some sort of advertisement but based on actual experience. A good friend that I know for more than a decade now learned this through trial and error. For someone who is so addicted to high seas, you must find out what works best to fight motion sickness. This patch so far is the one on top of the list.

The only side effect it may have that is, in fact, manageable, is a blurred vision. Just a small sacrifice in exchange of an enjoyable cruise! There are heaps of activities, entertainment, and tasty food that await you. So don't sweat on this simple side effect.

You should be mindful of over the counter pills as it may ruin your entire holiday. Sure it will help you get rid of seasickness but will get you drowsy that you would prefer to rest than to have fun - which defeats the purpose of sailing.

Herbal medicines work to some people but usually for only a short span of time. That's the main downside of it. You wouldn't want to bring them with you while having a drink or two, would you? So just forget the idea.

If you are one of the few lucky travelers who doesn't experience motion sickness, you may want to bring some of these patches for your friends who might be needing it. Remember, it's a must-have item to carry on a cruise.
