Nobody wants to go on vacation and suffer and injury.  However, cruise ships are often quite crowded which can create opportunities for falling injuries.  Also, in the spirit of creating a beautiful environment, cruise ships are designed to be aesthetically pleasing often at the sacrifice of passenger and crew safety - for example, poorly marked single step elevation changes, steps and stairways without adequate non-skid tread or missing handrails, and deck material that becomes unreasonably slippery when wet, including the pool deck.    

INJURED ON A PRINCESS CRUISE SHIP

If your or a loved one suffered an injury while vacationing on a Princess cruise ship, you have rights under the General Maritime Law of the United States to seek compensation from the cruise line for your injury.  An experienced cruise injury attorney familiar with maritime law can best evaluate your injury, and circumstances of your accident to determine if a negligence claim can be made against the cruise line.  

If you are a member of the crew, you are protected by the Jones Act, which allows employees to seek compensation from their employer and/or ship owner if the injury was caused by negligence or unseaworthiness.

Statute of Limitations

The ticket you purchased is also a contract, often referred to as your "passage contract."  Your ticket will specify how much time you have to file a claim - however in most cases you have six months from the date of the injury to file notice of your claim, and one year from the date of injury to file your cruise injury claim.
