Yeah I meant to tell you, wearing the Trans-Derm Scope patch over your eye doesn't make you a pirate. LOL

In all due respect, you claimed "sea-sickness".. and; "expensive-extra charge on my account!! " I fail to see how the first is the fault of the ship, and you did not elaborate AT ALL about anything else... WHAT charge??? What else made it so horrible??
Not a helpful review at all
Maybe they were able to settle the expensive extra charge and realized it was the tips and felt so much better it was for the hard working crew.

So sorry to hear that you were seasick. That does not make for a happy cruising experience. Did you get the extra charge on your account cleared up?

With a user name this person is using I think a they should be using a monocle, carry a swagger stick and change their user name to Colonel Klink.

Suffering sickness isn't what fault of the ship. I know, I get sick and to help with the sickness, I wear a patch.
If and when I have an extra charge. I will contact the cruise line, explain and it gets reversed.
I would also think about changing your nick name

You really need to be more specific in your review. Seasick from Jacksonville to the Bahamas ? How long into the cruise did you start feeling ill ? Next time try Bonine before you board. Try a newer ship with stabilizers ( I don't know if the Elation has them ). What were the extra charges you mentioned ? Cruise ships are not all inclusive as some people are lead to believe.

I wonder if the "extra charge" the OP is referring to is the gratuities (somewhere along the lines of 12-13$ per person/per day? If he wasn't expecting it, I could understand his unhappiness.
If it was indeed an erroneous charge, then he should take it up with Carnival (should have been done on the ship, but may still be able to contact Carnival HQ and get it straight).
I too wonder why all the frowny faces? More detail would be helpful.

It's too bad that you were seasick. I always carry so,e Bonine and Ginger Gravol with me in case I feel ill. Also, you can eat green apples from the Lido buffet and order some ginger ale to help.
If you weren't fond of the ports, you could have gone back to the ship to enjoy the activities there or just some time on the decks with the ship not being very full.
Extra charges are rare, but a quick trip to guest services will clear that up for you.
Perhaps nxt cruise you will enjoy more now that you have some suggestions as to how to deal with unfortunate situations.
