Many passengers are not aware that when they purchase a cruise ship ticket, they are agreeing to a contract that severely limits their rights. An individual’s rights are especially restrictive in terms of
cruise ship personal injury and liability.
For example, in The Costa Concordia contract, there is a limit in the kinds of lawsuits that can be filed and limits on the amount of compensation awarded in a
cruise ship injury lawsuit. Generally, most cruise ship contracts will not allow a passenger to collect damages for mental anguish or psychological trauma and put a cap on the amount of money awarded in cruise ship wrongful death, personal injury and property loss claims.
Those who are planning to go on a cruise should make sure that they are informed of their rights and their limitations while on board.
