Waterparks and pools are some of the main attractions for cruise ship passengers worldwide. Companies such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival, who dominate the cruise industry, compete with every new ship they build to include the largest, most elaborate, and ambitious waterparks and slides on the seas. For example, in Royal Caribbean’s newest and largest ship ever made, the Icon of the Seas, there will be over seven separate pools of unprecedented length and depth, nine whirlpools, and finally 6 individual slides.

Cruise ship vacations are supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but unfortunately, accidents can happen, and one of the most serious incidents that can occur is a passenger falling overboard. According to Conde Nast, roughly 90% of overboard cases result in death. Many statistics regarding overboard cases are not made public by cruise lines, and thus the severity of this type of situation might even be more pressing and frequent than currently understood

Get medical care in the ship’s medical center, report what happened to the crew and ask for a copy of the incident report, photograph the area and your injuries, and get the names of witnesses. Keep your ticket, receipts and medical records.
Most cruise ticket contracts require written notice within about six months and a lawsuit within one year of the injury. Some deadlines are even shorter, so contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
Most major cruise lines require passenger lawsuits to be filed in the court named in the ticket contract, often federal court in Miami. Aronfeld Trial Lawyers is based in Miami and represents passengers from across the country.
