We left Miami and set off for Eastern Caribbean, with ports of call at: Half Moon Cay-Bahamas, San Juan-Puerto Rico, St. Thomas-USVI and Grand Turk-Turks and Caicos. The 1st night the seas were a little choppy and I became very dizzy. This dizziness was with me most of the trip. I used Gravol and sea-bands, but after a while, the dizziness affected me stomach. So, for 2 days I was very nauseous. I talked to nurse and found out that what the ships offered was very similar to the Gravol that I was already taking. She could give me a shot if I got to the point of vomiting. My husband talked to a lot of people who gave us lots of tips for sea-sickness;eating bananas, apples, taking ginger tablets(which the nurse also had a supply of), drinking ginger ale...and that my the end of the week, I would probably have my 'sea-legs'. The second to last night there, another passenger told be that the meds that the desk gives out are stronger than the over-the counter meds that I was currently taking. I questioned this because the nurse that I talked (Rebecca)to did not agree. I asked at the desk...1 lady said that are the same strength, but another said they are stronger...so of course, I had to try them. I did feel much better on our last day at sea...was it the meds...or had I gotten my sea legs...or was I just happy to be going home???? The ship itself was beautiful and very well organized. The workers were always very helpful and very courteous. Jose, our room steward, was the most helpful...as he knew I wasn't feeling well, he seemed to know when to knock on the door and offer towels, water, room service(he let me use his cell phone), but he also seemed to know when to leave me alone wen I felt my worse. he had kind words of encouragement, helpful tips..and very, very nice. We gave him an extra big(we thought) tip and he was most grateful and said'God, bless you both. I think he really appreciated it. 8258 8th floor - Near the elevators. Was pretty quiet, although near

8258 8th floor - Near the elevators. Was pretty quiet, although near the elevators. There was lots of storage space. 2 big closets and a big closets with shelves. There is also space for clothes under the couch(2 drawers). There are also smaller drawers in a desk type thing...that was good for underwear etc. The hair dryer was connected through the wall, but stays in the desk drawer. You can stretch it to the bathroom if you like. Above the desk was a huge mirror where you can do make up, dry hair etc. A little safe is good for putting passports etc. it is locked by using your personal credit card. A TV that swivels. A small 'cooler' this is not a fridge...suggestion...but ice in it if you want to keep things cool. It is stocked with pop and liquor...but it is costly. A few under shelves and more closed in shelves..and 2 little night stands that you can put things in. Lots of storage space. We had a balcony cabin which was nice. Every few days it gets sanitized-wood and all, just like around the pool. Except the pool floors, steps, etc gets sanitized every evening. Overall, I loved my room.
