Don’t Worry About Getting Seasick I have never, touch wood, been seasick despite the many cruises I have done. I’ve even avoided this in rough seas crossing the Atlantic in winter on Queen Mary 2 and Drake Passage on Ponant Le Lyrial. That’s because I ignore the advice…

But unlike my last Celebrity trip, their “Always Included” add on this year has dropped gratuities from the bundle, so it’s much less inclusive!

The Rocky Mountaineer, as the name suggests, travels through the Rocky Mountains on what feels like an impossible to have built railway line due to the height and rugged terrain.
