Woman Gets Seasick, Sues Carnival

An Indiana woman is suing Carnival Cruise Lines, claiming she got sick on a Carnival cruise ship because “it was going too fast.”

An Indiana Court of Appeals took up the case this week. According to the court documents, the woman said that "due to the speed of the ship I became very sick ... the ship was moving so fast everyone on board became sick, even the workers."

The case was initially filed in 2009 in an Indiana small claims court. The court denied Carnival’s motion to dismiss the case, arguing that the case was filed in the wrong venue and that the plaintiff had “failed to file the claim within the one-year statute of limitations provided for in the cruise contract.”

Isn’t seasickness a possibility one should expect when embarking on a cruise?
