Over-the-Seas- Jitters!!

[ron123]

Regal Princess round trip Hawaii!! in less than 1 month!!

Yes! I can't believe this.... but I am getting 'jittery' about being at sea for 5 days. .... don't get me wrong I (we) need a vacation very bad, and have been looking forward now for for 6 months. This is our first over-the-sea cruise.

I guess the fact that you can't turn around and go home (or leave)in the the middle of the ocean, say 3 days into the trip, is what I mean!! Not that I would hope that I would want too!!!

I am hopefull the weather cooperates!!! I guess I am really concerned about bad weather or rough seas. I am completely looking forward to relaxing at sea.... every day!

Our other cruises have been Mexi Riviera and Western Caribbean... never seemed too far from land...

Yikes! but now!! Yes.. I will be prepared with sea sick stuff, although that has not been a problem in the past.

Just curious if other travelers have had this feeling or concern?

I am still counting down the days and cannot wait!!

Have done twice a cruise where I flew to Hawaii and then 5 days at sea to Vancouver, it was fantastic ! Relaxing....

Can't say that our seas were rough at all.

Looking forward to hearing all about it...

My mom just did the Spirit 12 night cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii. Yes, the seas were rough going to Hawaii, but they never bothered her a bit. The closer you get to Hawaii, the warmer the weather gets and the calmer the seas get (usually). The seas can't be that bad or the cruise lines wouldn't keep sending ships across the Pacific!

I do think you have a good mind set though - expect the worst and you'll be pleasantly surprised! Bring all the meds, and you probably won't need them.
