the best solution for motion sickness/sea sickness is to schedule an accupuntuce session for the &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;first evening on board ship.&amp;nbsp; we have done this in the past with amazing results.&amp;nbsp; unfortunately, it is suggested that you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are already feeling bad and are exhibiting sea sickness symptoms.&amp;nbsp; it is well worth the cost and you will enjoy the remainder&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of your cruise.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Olivia Virgins</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192453.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:39:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192453</guid><dc:creator>Dbrooks1</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192453.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192453</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello fellow cruisers!&amp;nbsp; I have a virgin question...I have been to Aruba before, but that was before passports were absolutely necessary.&amp;nbsp; Will we need to bring&amp;nbsp;passport/documentation when&amp;nbsp;we get off the boat and visit the islands?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am also planning a kayak and snorkeling trips and was wondering if there was anyone out there who has done these, if there are secure places to leave valuables, i.e., money/personal bags, etc., at these excursions, or will&amp;nbsp;I have to bring everything kayaking with me?&amp;nbsp; Just thinking logistically here.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for any information.</description></item><item><title>Re: Olivia Virgins</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192401.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2012 23:47:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192401</guid><dc:creator>Carole_Rose</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192401.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192401</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Good to know we won't be the only "virgins" on this trip! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can't wait!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Merry Christmas everyone from Little Rock, Arkansas &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Olivia Virgins</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192393.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:33:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192393</guid><dc:creator>sleddog</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192393.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192393</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;hello &amp;amp;
