Cruise Line Sued After Passenger Dies, Allegedly Served 33 Drinks

Royal Caribbean is facing a wrongful death lawsuit following the death of a passenger aboard one of its ships. The incident raises serious questions about safety and alcohol service protocols at sea. The lawsuit alleges the passenger was served approximately 33 alcoholic drinks before being physically restrained by security staff. He later died, allegedly due to the restraint. His body was stored in the ship's morgue. A maritime security expert, commenting on the case, described the ship's rules as "fast and loose." The lawsuit claims the cruise line failed in its duty to provide a safe environment and proper medical care. Royal Caribbean has not publicly commented on the pending litigation. The case highlights the complex legal responsibilities cruise companies have for passenger safety.
