That didn't take long. Less than a month after Hurricane winds forced the Anthem of the Seas to turn around and head back to New Jersey, a passenger has filed suit against Royal Caribbean. He claims that during the storm, he was tossed about the deck and then unable to get medical attention because the facilities were closed during the storm.
While passengers sue the cruise companies all the time, I don't see this one going far. Ultimately he is healthy and the ship's crew followed storm-related procedures. Was there really negligence? Royal Caribbean has also refunded and credited passengers who experienced the storm.

Cruise Fever: Cruises to avoid
Did you hear about the Rob Gronkowski cruise? It sounds like a great time for Gronk fans. But what about those 1,600 other people who didn't know they were on the Gronk party boat? A specialty party can certainly change the experience of the typical cruise. That is why Cruise Fever's list of "cruises to avoid" is more relevant than ever. Among the list is: "Themed Cruises With Large Groups." The list also includes good tips on ships after drydocking and certain spring break trips. As always, do your research so that you get the trip you want.

Disney rescues wanted hacker at seas
Cruise ships pick up stranded boats and assist with rescues all the time. It is goodwill at sea. Save and help a ship in need and hope that if your ship ever has problems, someone will come to your aid. These rescues make news but are rarely controversial. That is until Disney Cruise Line saved a wanted hacker and turned him over to the FBI.
Martin Gottesfeld was on the run after a series of hacks into Boston medical institutions. He and his wife were traveling by sailboat near Cuba when they put out a distress call. Disney answered and saved the couple. The feds were not far behind.
