Norwegian Cruise Line Injury Lawyer

Injured on a Norwegian Cruise Line Ship? Know Your Rights

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is one of the most popular cruise lines, offering freestyle cruising, luxury accommodations, and innovative onboard attractions. With a fleet that includes the Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore, and Norwegian Breakaway, passengers enjoy thrilling experiences like the Aqua Park, Speedway, Galaxy Pavilion, and Mandara Spa. However, accidents and injuries can still occur due to negligence, unsafe conditions, or security failures.

At Holzberg Legal, we help injured passengers hold Norwegian Cruise Line accountable when their vacation takes an unfortunate turn. If you suffered an injury aboard any NCL ship, you may be entitled to significant compensation.

Common Injuries Aboard Norwegian Cruise Line Ships

Passengers on Norwegian’s Breakaway Class, Epic Class, and Prima Class ships, including Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Epic, and Norwegian Joy, can experience injuries due to various hazards. Some of the most common NCL-related accidents include:

  • Slip and Falls – Areas like Vibe Beach Club, Aqua Racer, and Spice H2O can become slippery due to spilled drinks, wet flooring, and poor maintenance, leading to fractures, concussions, and sprains.
  • Food Poisoning & Illness Outbreaks – Dining at restaurants like Cagney’s Steakhouse, Food Republic, The Haven Restaurant, and Los Lobos should maintain strict food safety standards, but passengers have suffered from foodborne illnesses and norovirus outbreaks.
  • Drownings & Pool Accidents – Norwegian’s Tidal Wave Waterslide, Thermal Spa Pool, and Infinity Beach pools can pose serious dangers when lifeguards are absent or floors are wet and unmarked.
  • Shore Excursion Injuries – Popular NCL destinations like Great Stirrup Cay, Cozumel, St. Thomas, and the Bahamas have seen passenger injuries due to unregulated excursion operators, faulty equipment, and poorly maintained vehicles.
  • Medical Malpractice – Onboard medical staff may fail to provide proper emergency care, leading to worsening conditions, misdiagnoses, and delayed treatments.
  • Assault & Sexual Assault – Poor security and understaffed venues like The Observation Lounge, The Local Bar & Grill, and Pulse Fitness Center have resulted in passenger-on-passenger and crew-related assaults.

If you were injured aboard Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Jade, or any other NCL cruise ship, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit.

Can I Sue Norwegian Cruise Line for an Injury?

Yes, but Norwegian Cruise Line lawsuits must be filed in Florida, specifically in the Southern District of Florida, as stated in NCL’s passenger ticket contract.

Since NCL operates under maritime law, these cases involve strict deadlines and complex legal standards. Most claims must be filed within one year, so it’s crucial to take action immediately.

What to Do After an Injury on an NCL Cruise

  1. Report the Incident – Notify Guest Services and request a written accident report.
  2. Take Photos & Videos – Document the hazard, your injuries, and any lack of warning signs.
  3. Get Witness Contact Information – Other passengers can support your claim with statements.
  4. Seek Immediate Medical Attention – Visit the ship’s medical facility and follow up with a doctor once you return to shore.
  5. Do Not Sign Any Documents – NCL may attempt to limit liability by offering a lowball settlement or asking you to sign a waiver.
  6. Contact a Maritime Lawyer – Cruise ship lawsuits require an experienced maritime attorney who understands Norwegian Cruise Line’s defenses.
  • 40+ Years of Experience – Successfully handling cruise ship injury lawsuits against NCL.
  • Florida-Based Firm – We file lawsuits where Norwegian Cruise Line requires legal actions to be brought.
  • No Win, No Fee – You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
  • Proven Success – We have secured millions for injured cruise passengers.

If you suffered an injury aboard Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Sun, or any other Norwegian Cruise Line vessel, Holzberg Legal is ready to fight for you.

Norwegian Cruise Line requires all lawsuits to be filed in Florida courts (Southern District of Florida) under its passenger ticket contract. If you were injured aboard an NCL cruise ship, we can evaluate your case and help you pursue compensation.
