What Every Cruise Ship Passenger Needs To Know
The Ticket
You will receive a multi-page ticket with extremely small print that virtually no one ever reads. Read it. Some very important rights are affected by this ticket.
Where to File Suit
The cruise line ticket can specify where suit has to be filed. If suit is filed in the wrong location & 1 year has gone by, it will be too late to file in the correct location.
Applicable Law
On the cruise ship, don’t think that you are in the United States. Look at the flag of the vessel. If it is Bahamian, you are in the Bahamas, Panamanian you are in Panama.
Gather Evidence
Shipping company first instinct is to protect themselves. They will gather evidence to use against you. Protect yourself by taking photographs.

- Madison B.
“I worked with this law firm for a long period of time and I thought I was treated very personally. I mainly worked with Jackie and she treated me a lot like a friend rather than a client. I really felt like she understood my case and my story and was there for me whenever I needed her. I would definitely recommend this law group to my friends and my family.”
