This also applies to prescription medicines, be sure to take an ample supply with you and be sure to give your physician the details of your plans in case an emergency arises.
Sea sickness can be a real problem for many people, so be sure to check with your companion to be sure they can handle the extended amount of time you will be on board the ship.
