This will be a case to watch. They will have to prove some kind of
gross negligence to get around the somewhat iron clad waivers you sign
when you buy a ticket.
This is the country to do it tho. The US may be the only place in the
world where having a signed waiver is no guarantee that you can be
sued for exactly what the plaintiff waived.
I'll also bet that those that were told, here, we're going to give you a
refund, and a voucher for a future cruise, and reimburse you for your
expenses, just sign here, are unknowingly signing away their rights to
sue.
It won't take much of a tort lawyer to bust through that nonsense.
