112.0. "South Seas Cruise" by BOOVX2::B_ALLEN () Tue Apr 11 1989 16:58

    I am planning a South Seas cruse on the Royal Viking Sea for
    Febuary 1990.
    The cruise leaves Auckland then goes to the following ports and
    places. Willington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Milford Sound, Hobart
    Tasmania, and Sydney Australia.
    Has anyone done a south seas cruise?  
    Any recommendations for the 22 hour flight from Boston the help
    with the jet lag.

    Take a look at 59.0. The only way I've discovered to deal with jet
    lag as far as a cruise is concerned, is to recover from it before
    you get on board. I.e., sign up for RVs precruise thing and don't
    expect to do much other than get back in whack.
    
    All of the other things suggested by world travellers may apply,
    e.g., no alchol, lots of sleep, light meals, lots of liquids other
    than liquor may help but they've never worked for me. I've been
    to New Zealand and Austrailia several times and the only thing that
    has ever worked for me is a couple of days to get my body reoriented.
