    Q: Will I get seasick on 3-Hour Northwest Coast Excursion: Aquarium and Islas Margaritas?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
