P&O CRUISE INJURY LAWYERS
Injured on a P&O cruise?
P&O Cruises is a British cruise line that sails from Southampton, England, on everything from adults-only ships to huge family ships, to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Northern Europe. Because it is a British line, its ticket can follow rules and name courts that differ from a typical U.S. cruise ticket. If you were hurt, your P&O ticket can decide where and how fast you have to act.

ABOUT P&O
Who you would be making a claim against.
P&O Cruises traces its history to 1837 and is owned by Carnival Corporation, which also owns Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises and Cunard. The line is run by Carnival UK from Southampton, England. Like any large cruise operator, it has insurers and in-house lawyers, so what you tell them early can affect your claim.
THE FLEET
Seven ships, from about 1,900 to about 5,200 guests.
Each ship links to its own page with reported incidents, so passengers searching by ship name land here.
COMMON P&O CLAIMS
Where a British cruise goes wrong.
Slip and fall
Wet pool decks, crowded promenades and stairs on very large ships.
Shore excursions
Tours and activities sold through the line at ports of call.
Tender and onboard accidents
Boarding tenders at anchor, elevators, lounges and other onboard areas.
Medical negligence
Infirmary care and delayed evacuation during days at sea.
Illness outbreaks
Norovirus and food- or water-borne illness on board.

WHAT TO DO AFTER AN INCIDENT
Report it onboard
Ask for a copy of the incident report before you leave the ship.
Document the scene
Photograph the hazard, the location, and any posted signage or lack of it.
Get seen onboard
A visit to the ship’s medical center creates a record with the date and time. Keep every bill and receipt.
Call before you settle anything
What you tell P&O or its insurers early can affect your claim later, so do not sign a release or accept a payment before you call.

P&O-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
How long do I have to file a claim against P&O?
The deadline can be short, and because P&O is a British line, it may differ from the deadline on a typical U.S. cruise ticket. It depends on your booking conditions and on the law that applies. For that reason, please do not wait. Call us as soon as you can, and we will check the dates for you.
P&O is a British line. Can I still file in the U.S.?
It depends on your ticket and your situation. A British line’s booking conditions may name an English court or English law, and that can change where and how you can file. We read the conditions and the facts before anything is filed, so that your claim goes to the right place.
Does the Athens Convention affect my P&O claim?
It may, for voyages that start or end in the UK or Europe, since it is an international treaty about carriage by sea. Whether it applies depends on your itinerary, your booking and the type of claim. That is the kind of detail a generalist firm can miss.
What if the excursion was sold through P&O?
Excursions sold through the cruise line can carry different responsibility than ones you booked on your own ashore. For that reason, it is a key early question in any shore-excursion claim.
Which company would my claim be against?
P&O Cruises is run from Southampton and owned by a larger group, and some of its ships are registered abroad. Your booking names the company you sailed with, so we identify the right one for you before anything is filed. That way, nothing goes to the wrong place.
What does it cost to find out if I have a case?
Nothing. The review is free, and if we take your case, we work on contingency, so our fee comes only from what we recover for you.
