Review summary

First everything on ship is so expensive. I was sea sick every day.when I went to the shop to buy sea sickness pills they were $10 for 10 pills and didn't work. When in harbor at a mexican pharmacy I bought sea sick pills for $7 for 40 and let me just say they worked. The events on ship are pretty repetitive. You are better off booking excursions with outside vendors as carnival is double if not triple for same excursions. I will say all the staff were AWESOME and learned they only get paid by tips. It was an experience I will not repeat.

Cleaned well daily. Once we learned staff only made tips we tripped $5 to $10 each time. They made sure we never wanted for anything.

would never go on a cruise without my transderm scop patches. It is a prescription and runs around $35 / $40 with blue cross blue shield but worth every dollar for me. Would hate to ruin a cruise.

those patches are a prescription medication so you should get those from your doctor before you come

Are you prone to motion sickness?

Yes, it is because you pay for the convenience. Why didn't you bring some onboard with you as a precaution, much like you should bring sunscreen, Advil/Tylenol etc? And, yes outside vendors can be cheaper but they don't give the guarantee of the ship waiting on you should they return late.
