I agree that Oda must be putting emphasis on Carrot's curiosity for a reason, but I don't see her as a member of the crew. Up to this point, each crew member serves a specific purpose and "tourist" wouldn't really be a purpose for the SH crew. I don't have much of a problem with her joining, but idk I just don't see it.
