- HOW MUCH ARE CRUISE LINE SUPOSE TO WARN YOU ABOUT?
Margaritaville at sea is being sued for something that happened last year at a hotel they booked for a passenger. One of the claims in the suit is the cruise line should have warned this passenger about an incident that happened 7 years earlier at the hotel and police never filed charges saying there was no evidence it ever happened. Just how much are cruise lines supose to warn us about?
I believe it's the hotel's responsibility to take security measures to protect guests. Not the cruise line.
Too many people refuse to take even the minimal amount of responsibility to participate in "life." Absolutely ridiculous!
Not when they think there’s money to be got
That is saying the same as a shopping center should warn you of all the violent crimes that took place in their parking lots. It is ridiculous.
This is not a cruise line issue, but a hotel issue. It will be interesting to see how this lawsuit plays out.
During discovery, it may be determined that there are other unreported attacks. Her attorney is following the proper steps. The link may also be discovered, i.e. due diligence by cruise line in contracting with 3rd parties.
I don't see why they are blaming the cruise line for that
Because when you want money, you cast a wide net and put everyone on a lawsuit and hope some of them give you money to shut up. Sad state of affairs. Need to have frivolous lawsuits have penalties for false claims.
I can see a lawsuit with the hotel for lack of security, but not the cruise line.
It was a cruise and stay booked through the cruise line.
I live in Vegas, nobody would ever come here if they were told about every incident that happens in the Casino/Hotels
When companies have defend themselves, the cost gets passed on to us.
It's amazing what people will sue over anymore.
How is it the cruise lines fault? As I have said before, you can't fix stupid !
I think that it is at least the hotel’s responsibility because they are responsible for proper safety of their guests and for proper screening of their employees so that they will not pose a risk to their guests.
Lawyers going after the deeper pockets. That's the only logical answer.
Yes, I'm sure it's the attorney that decided this was the route they needed to go.
I dont think i understand? Why is she not pressing charges againt the person who attacked her? Why go after the cruise line?
Greedy lawyer...
I'm not a lawyer, however I feel she may have been advised on how to proceed with her lawsuit by her lawyer.
It's just greed. Bet she has a GoFundMe too. Greedy is not only culturally acceptable but encouraged in 2024.
The cruise ship should not be held responsible at all. If nothing had even been reported to the police and nothing was done 7 years ago - the hotel shouldn't be responsible either. This lady's attorney is stretching to get a connection.
Go after the hotel not cruise line. Hotel should do back ground check before hiring or was this guy a guest a hotel. Not cruise line fault
Doesn’t surprise me because nothing makes sense anymore!
Although this Jane Doe is trying to blame the cruise line, which is ridiculous, let's show some sympathy for her being attacked too. The hotel should have some type of security measures at the very least
There can be creeps everywhere
Agreed Don, using that as the main basis of a law suit is ridiculous.
Glad she’s ok. Society has made it so easy to sue but she’s is suing the wrong people. Hotels have to have security in place for these things. BUT..we have to do our part to stay safe. First, why were you alone??? As a woman, I don’t go places alone when I’m unfamiliar with my surroundings. If by chance I do, I will be on my phone…making sure someone knows where I am. Take responsibility and know who is at fault. Not the cruise line in this situation. Thanks Don.
It’s so sad you can’t walk the halls of a hotel without being threatened. If everyone who has been ‘almost attacked’ would report the incidents, maybe something would be done.
Wow, sue the right person or place. So sorry for the young lady and hope she will get over this terrible situation.
Keep up the good work!
I believe the theory is if you are going to sue, sue everyone and anyone involved. Hoping that the cruise line and the hotel are big enough that they may just settle out of court rather than spend time and money to let it go through. Since it was a hotel employee, I can see suing them. But the others is just a cash grab. Also, the incident that happened in 2016 was never charged, so there are no court records. Legally speaking, it didn't exist. If the cruise line "warned" the customer about staying there due to the 2016 incident then the hotel would have a case to sue the cruise line for causing them to lose business due to an unsubstantiated case.
It’s not like a hotel will put any negative events on their website. This is a ridiculous blame game.
Too many lawyers are too greedy and get clients to go along with their craziness.
I feel like some people make no plans, take no precautions and have no foreign country travel rules. You gotta know how to move.
Going after the deepest pockets
They go after everyone even remotely associated with incident. They sort it out after hoping to get paid
I’m sorry this lady went through this
Agreed, not the hotel responsibilities to tell of problem years before
Ok, let's assume her attorney told her to sue the cruise line for booking her into that hotel.
Don you are giving ridiculous examples. Let's be real here. The cruise line didn't need to be aware of the 7 year old crime, but they did book her into that hotel. The attorney must have thought there was some blame to be applied to the cruise line. This is not Judge Judy. These are billion dollar corporations who are indeed supposed to protect their clients. The attorney would not have taken the case unless he/she/they expected some form of either settlement or winning verdict.
Frankly it's not what you or I or anyone else thinks about her claim that is important. She was attacked by an employee of a hotel that a cruise line booked her into. Her life has been horribly and irrevocabley changed by this, and she deserves to at the least be financially compensated. Everyone on here commenting needs to think what if it was your wife, daughter, sister or self. You'd want millions. And you certainly wouldn't want ridiculous comparisons to the Titanic made. Shame on you Don.
Don is groping for money
When something like this happens and they hire a lawyer and sue. The lawyer advises the client to cover all of their bases and sue all that is involved. The case may or may not stick somewhere.
Great Commentary
Many people always look for people to blame when something happens to them, preferably someone with considerable assets that they figure they should be compensated with.
That is incredible. I want to see how it will finish
Did the lawyer taking the case warn her that lawyers loose cases or advise her about how many suits he/she as a lawyer has personally lost? You're right, where does it end?
It is very likely that the woman's lawyer may have added on additional suits to what may have initially been just against the hotel. I saw this happen when my daughter was hit by a driver who ran a traffic light and hospitalized for a week. All she wanted was to have her medical bills paid by the driver's insurance company, but it took a lawyer to get them to pay what was a legitimate claim. Once the lawyer was involved there was pressure to add more to the suit. When you are traumatized and being told you need to do certain things by your lawyer, it can be difficult to disagree. My daughter did, but she had a good support network while doing so.
If I book it myself it’s up to me to google my hotel but if I book through a cruise line it’s fare to assume they’ve done their do diligence to keep their guests safe. If I book an excursion a 80 people died during the excursion yes I definitely want to know.
don't think cruise line should even be in this lawsuit
I don't understand that either. There has to be a stopping point.
I also don’t think you can blame the cruise line. That’s a bit ridiculous.
Hotel issue, very interesting if this will actually get to the courts
Good Morning Don
The case will get tossed out! She doesn’t have a case.
I would sue the Hotel, there should have been security on shift and surveillance. I wonder how many of theses incidences happen and go unreported. We feel bad for this lady, hopefully she will be alright.
I booked a hotel that was suppose to be by the airport. Instead I went to another of their hotels. It was far out and sketchy looking. I locked the door and didn’t go out. I ordered Dominos for lunch and supper. I wasn’t going out. In the daylight I walked up to get my breakfast. Worst place. Sack lunch with a granola bar, a muffin and a small bottle of water. I’m almost positive I picked the one by the airport. I would never pick one in the boonies. I will always double check. Places can’t be blamed every time something happens.
Agree with you.
Every year, almost every, if not all, hotels have had incidents where police are called. They will never tell their guest about it. Nor will cruise ships unless it's blasted over the PA system or videos record by guests.
Don I remember when you went to Fl and that man came in your elevator. I laughed so hard at your Impersonation form him. He also told you there were penguins in fl. This is why I sent you the penguin you kindly display .
I agree with you Don. An individual needs to take responsibility for their own actions. I sorry she was attacked, but it’s not the cruise line fault, but the hotel’s if their security was lacking! People are sue happy!
I think it's called deep pockets if you go after everyone someone might decide just to pay instead of fighting it
I think lawyers put a lot of people on the law suit in hopes one get $ out of one or all of them or maybe settle out of court to not tarnish their company
NO. Just no... Hotel should be responsible for employee. Employee is responsible. Cruise Line not responsible. Incident in past is not, nothing filed.
Welcome to the US of A where people can sue for anything at any time.
It's amazing how opinionated everyone is and they know it all. Suddenly in this case, they act stupid.
Just like anything, it's all about the money!!
I Agree with you Don not sure how the cruise lines should be responsible for the attack by a hotel employee. Now She should go after the hotel by all means and its sad that she had to go through a awful experience, but as others have said the creeps and bad people are every where.
Hi Don Have a great day.
Insurance and the Tax man use 7 years of data against you, is 7 years seems kind of standard. If there was no record of this alleged assault by hotel employees 7 years previously, how did this person find that information. If the hotel has a history of its employees attacking guests, then shouldn't the cruise line skip that hotel? How many assaults does the cruise line accept before it skips the hotel? Is 1 okay, or does it need to be 2? Are 9 assaults okay but 10 not? This seems to me like a challenge for the court and I suspect there is information we don't have anyway. Am I wrong?
I contacted the CEO of Wyndam Hotels relative to a stay I had at the Wyndam Cruise Hotel in 2023 at Ft. Lauderdale and NEVER heard from him so I can imagine the scope or lack thereof of Wyndam's involvement and subsequent "resolution"....
People need to get over themselves and take accountability for their own safety and well-being. I get very tired of hearing everyone complaining about who did not do something for them. Take it upon self and do it for yourself.
Anyone can be attacked anywhere. She is taking a chance...
Why walk alone somewhere in the dark? Nope....
Are cruise vlogs primarily here or on Don's Family Vacations? How do you differentiate each channel?
Lawsuit should be filed against hotel in Bahamas by Jane doe not cruise line
Wow! Are there cameras to show what happened? Not Classica fault but maybe Wyndham for not doing a good job of screening employees properly. Also, sue the employee! I agree the warning isn’t necessary, that was an isolated issue then.
How in the world do they even know if it is the exact same employee
I don’t believe the cruise line needs to mention these specific incidences, but I do believe that the hotel should The information readily available on their website for the consumer to find for themselves. They don’t need to mention anything that details those situations, but they should mention what happened, and warn their guests that they are in a foreign country and they need to be safe.
Well...this is the world we live in... Without details...it seems it's a money grab... Cruise Lines/ Hotels/ Etc. Should give us general safety precautions. If there is a very recent safety issue passengers should be notified. Example..like cruise lines do if a port has had issues...Thanks
OMG! I have nothing to say except SMH!
Shops all register in other countries -does that allow them to skirt responsibility?
That things happen at hotels and on cruise lines and everywhere else in the world every day. As a traveler, it’s your responsibility to know what is going on in any particular area that you are planning to go. Everybody wants to push blame off on everyone else except themselves. This ignorant woman was not paying attention to her surroundings. Ultimately your safety is your responsibility. Yes, there is a reasonable expectation of safety by the hotel. It’s their employee that attacked you then yes the hotel is liable. But it is no one’s responsibility to tell you about incident that happened five or six years ago that’s ridiculous.
I personally think that before you jump into a vacation, you need to research. Not just the fun stuff. But, crime. And you need to take into account all different media sources. Plus you need to carry protection. A baton, bear spray. A box cutter. They aren’t guns. But, they stop a lot of bs. So when you go on a remote trail or empty hallway. Be prepared.
I agree with you Don only the hotel should be at fault
I call this the basic American money grab lawsuit.
so do all Cruiselines in all ports supposed to notify people. FYI Vancouver is about 4 blocks away from the notorious downtown eastside.
Just based on the information presented here how could the cruise line say anything. Since there was no conviction.
I don’t think it will fly in court.
People will sue over the smallest things.
I’m sorry this happened to this lady. I think it’s the hotels responsibility
Unfortunately there's always a lawyer willing to sue.
Nothing to do with the cruise line. Also nothing to with the fact that there was a supposed incident many years ago at the same hotel. Its all nonsense.
I am really sorry this women was attacked. But I can't see how she will be successful collecting anything from the cruise line. Maybe she should research the places herself before staying there.
Probably would not be any hotels to stay at if you knew all of the history. Most of them most likely have some event in the past.
Don there is no logic. Life happens and we need to stay aware even on vacation.
I don’t think the cruise line is responsible.
It’s not the cruise line fault that this unfortunate thing happened.
She just wants.money
It seems that people are always looking for a way to sue others and cruise lines an easy target. I dont believe that the cruise line is responsible.
I could see suing the hotel since the person who conducted the attack was an employee, but not the cruise line. If the attack happened on board the ship by a crew member, go ahead.
In today's world it is always someone else's fault when things happen. There is no more accountability or responsibility for one's action. Let's also put the blame on lawyers that are vulchers and willing to take cases that are placed against rich corporations or rich people. Gotta be responsible for your decisions.
Or the Cecile Hotel?
Rediculous is right! Ignorance on the part of the person sueing. If they don't have someone/something to blame they will look for something / make something up. Sad part is....they quite often come out ahead!
No sorry ridiculous
This is wrong of you to protect the cruise line and not the lady she was attacked
Person safety is now everyone else’s problem?
It was a cruise and stay booked through the cruise line.
