#RoyalCaribbean #Lawsuit #Alcohol
The main issues facing Royal Caribbean recently include recurring norovirus outbreaks sickening many guests (like on Serenade of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas in 2025), a recent lawsuit over a passenger's death from alleged over-serving, and some investors noting recent stock downturns linked to broader industry caution and revenue concerns, alongside ongoing guest service issues like accessibility complaints.
Sue for racism if wasn't served
His fault
If that person drank 33 drinks it’s on him. Over served is BS!!!! Not one dime to this garbage family. The man drank himself to death. That’s on him.
Man's got to know his limitations. – Dirty Harry
How about taking personal responsibility and not drinking 33 drinks
This news shows "BBC level"😅
Lower prices at the gas pump, lower prices at the grocery store, and higher wages in my paycheck. Thank you, Donald J Trump!
No the man had an induced alcohol heart attack he was unhealthy to begin with as someone that's had three heart attacks and open heart surgery when you have heart problems you do not drink alcohol so it was his discretion on drinking the alcohol or not.
That’s his fault not the cruise line
Isn't there an agreement when you buy the ticket that basically states they aren't responsible for any death that occurs regardless of circumstance.
Smh. Ruining it for the rest of us. Rip karen
What happened to drink responsible?
So essentially dude bought a deluxe liquor package for unlimited drinks…got drunk…became belligerent…got hit with the booty juice…and then died because he had other health complications…yea sue the cruise ship 🥱👀
his dumbazz decided to be greedy
You get what you pay for.
Nobody to blame but himself.
How is everyone just going to ignore the fact that they sedated him against his will which is what ultimately killed him?…
How about some personal responsibility.
Meanwhile on carnival…. im 15 drinks in, and im stone cold sober. Smh…
Dear Morons, Don’t drink.
Who drinks 33 drinks? Definitely not his first time. No one’s tolerance is that high without a history of drinking. This is on the drinker, not on Royal Caribbean. Family is just trying to get a pay day for his poor decisions. Also there’s a waiting period between getting drinks on Royal Caribbean. This is a pure money grab for poor decisions.
He didn’t deserve to be murdered 🤬
Did the cruise staff forced him to drink?
This is disgusting this is why there is laws to cut ppl off who are to drunk at bars once you get to a certain level of drunk you wont be thinking correctly you wont stop drinking this is on the cruise ship for not cutting him off this is why there are laws 2 cut ppl off
Looks like buying a drink package and actually getting your money's worth is possible.
An obese guy drinking himself to death is one thing. Getting sedated by security (who aren’t medical experts) and asphyxiated while intoxicated is another thing.
This lawsuit sounds like a money grab by the family UNTIL you see the coroner report. And hear about the forced sedation. I definitely hear where people are coming from when he chose to drink and wasn’t forced. But how can drinking yourself to death be medically diagnosed as a homicide?
Cruise lines are some of the most wealthy private companies on earth… who’s to say they didn’t lobby for this story to be shown in this light.
2 sides to every story
If cruise lines want to change they should imbed software in their drink serving systems that tracks how often a passenger is drinking. Put a chip in the wristband, scan the wristband before serving a drink, and the passengers entire time stamped drink history shows up on screen. If more than two or three drinks on record have been consumed in a short period of time flag their account for an hour or two then start serving them again. Like a party person time out. The Cruise lines would have to lower prices bc it would make it more challenging to get your money's worth like this guy but a bit of lost revenue is still cheaper than tens of millions or hundreds of millions lost to lawsuits.
He did it to himself
Aint no way someone drink 33 alcoholic drinks, walks to the rooms and tried to kick a door down and wrestle down security
I go to hotels and cruises their are full bottles in my room somehow I didn't drink myself to death
if you buy the unlimited drink package wouldn't it be more profitable if they didn't serve 33 drinks to one person?
33? Sounds Mason.
his fault not royal Caribbean. It’s sad people can’t take accountability anymore
33 drinks? That’s a full box of wine at one go. Did one bartender serve him all the drinks? It’s hard to imagine that happening. He probably blacked out after the first 20.
the thing is most cruises has drink PKG, and with that you cannot limit anyone to drinks they already paid for. You can refuse to serve them anymore alcohol at one bar, but they can simply move on to another bar and get more drinks.
This is ridiculous! That’s the guy’s fault for drinking in the first place.
Whatever happened to responsibility for your actions. Hahahaha. Everything is someone else's FAULT these days. Hahahahaha. Love boat. NOT
This world is sin
😂
Yeah, you shouldn't drink…or cruise. It's bad for you.
Only YOU are responsible for your actions, nobody else.
The “family” is obviously only concerned about getting paid.
Alcohol doesn't "make" people mean.
Alcohol makes them forget to keep up the nice act and reveal the mean person they are underneath.
His sniveling lawyer is crying to the media that Royal Caribbean put him in a fridge for the rest of the cruise.
This is a misdirection hoping to gain sympathy from people who are ignorant.
A fridge is exactly where a hospital or a funeral home would have stored his body. It slows decomposition.
As for changing the course of the cruise, you don't ruin a vacation (and your business relationship) with THOUSANDS of ticketed passengers because one dummy found acting like an adult too difficult.
A grown man has the ability to make his own choices, and cruises are known for excessive alcohol. No one made him order over 30 drinks, and security had to step in when his actions became violent. Could they have handled this better – absolutely. But they had every reason to think he could hurt someone based on his actions, and, while they are rightfully devastated, I think his family needs to admit that a large majority of this tragedy was due to the decisions of the deceased.
Why would you mix sedatives with alcohol wth is wrong with people this guy was blacked out not delirious you killed him when you gave him that injection
