Injured on a Princess Cruise Ship? Here’s What You Need to Know
Princess Cruises, part of the Carnival Corporation, is known for its luxury voyages, elegant ships, and world-class entertainment. With a fleet including the Regal Princess, Royal Princess, Sky Princess, and Caribbean Princess, passengers enjoy top attractions like the Lotus Spa, The Sanctuary, Princess Theater, and Discovery at SEA experiences.
Unfortunately, accidents still happen due to hazardous conditions, crew negligence, or security failures. If you suffered an injury aboard a Princess Cruises ship, Holzberg Legal can help you pursue compensation for your losses.
Common Accidents & Injuries on Princess Cruise Ships
With more than 15 ships sailing worldwide, including the Majestic Princess, Sapphire Princess, and Enchanted Princess, passengers may experience injuries due to unsafe conditions in areas such as:
- Slip and Falls – Wet decks near the Lido Pool, The Sanctuary, and Retreat Pool can cause serious falls resulting in fractures, sprains, and concussions.
- Food Poisoning & Illness Outbreaks – Dining venues like Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, and The Salty Dog Gastropub must follow strict safety protocols, but passengers have reported foodborne illnesses and norovirus outbreaks.
- Drownings & Pool Accidents – Accidents occur at The Enclave, Neptune’s Reef & Pool, and the Wake View Pool when lifeguards are absent or inattentive.
- Shore Excursion Injuries – Passengers visiting Cozumel, St. Thomas, the Mediterranean, and Alaska can suffer injuries on unregulated excursions, faulty zip lines, or boat accidents.
- Medical Malpractice – Shipboard medical facilities may fail to diagnose serious conditions, delaying proper treatment.
- Sexual Assault & Security Negligence – Inadequate security near Club Fusion, Skywalkers Nightclub, or the Piazza has led to passenger assaults and theft incidents.
If you were injured aboard Ruby Princess, Coral Princess, or any other Princess Cruises vessel, you may be entitled to compensation.
Can I Sue Princess Cruises for an Injury?
Yes, but Princess Cruises requires lawsuits to be filed in Florida, specifically in the Southern District of Florida or Middle District of Florida, under its passenger ticket contract.
Since cruise ship injury cases involve maritime law, lawsuits must be filed within one year, making it essential to act quickly.
Steps to Take After an Injury on a Princess Cruise
- Report the Incident – Notify Guest Services and request a written report.
- Document Everything – Take photos and videos of the hazard and your injuries.
- Gather Witness Information – Other passengers can support your claim.
- Visit the Ship’s Medical Center – Seek immediate care and follow up with a doctor when you return home.
- Do Not Sign Any Forms – Princess Cruises may attempt to limit liability by offering a lowball settlement or requesting a liability waiver.
