ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE INJURY LAWYERS
Injured on a Royal Caribbean cruise?
Royal Caribbean sails some of the world’s largest ships from Florida and other U.S. ports, and many have water slides, surf simulators, zip lines and climbing walls, with thousands of guests on board. With that many attractions and crowds, injuries can happen almost anywhere. If you were hurt, your Royal Caribbean ticket can decide where and how fast you have to act.

ABOUT ROYAL CARIBBEAN
Who you would be making a claim against.
Royal Caribbean was founded in 1968 and is owned by Royal Caribbean Group, which also owns Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises. The line is based in Miami, Florida. Like any large cruise operator, it has insurers and in-house lawyers, so what you tell them early can affect your claim.
THE FLEET
About 30 ships in seven classes, from about 2,000 to about 5,700 guests.
Each class links to its own page with its ships and reported incidents, so passengers searching by ship name land here.
COMMON ROYAL CARIBBEAN CLAIMS

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.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
How long do I have to file a claim against Royal Caribbean?
Royal Caribbean’s ticket contract, like most, can set a short deadline and name the court you must use. Most cruise tickets give you one year to file, and often six months to give written notice. Because the exact terms depend on your ticket, we check the contract that applies to you.
Royal Caribbean is based in Miami. Does that mean I file there?
It may. Many cruise tickets name a Florida court, but the exact court, and the company you sued, depend on your contract. We read it before anything is filed, so that your claim goes to the right place.
I was hurt on a slide, FlowRider, zip line or climbing wall on board. What should I do?
Get medical care first, then report it and keep your records. The same ticket-contract deadlines apply, and each of these attractions has a page of its own that explains what we look at. In either case, a free case review will tell you where you stand.
What if I was hurt at a private island or beach club?
It can count. Activities at the line’s own private destinations can carry different responsibility than a tour run by an outside company, and local rules can matter. Because the facts differ from place to place, we look at who ran the activity and what you signed.
What if the excursion was sold through Royal Caribbean?
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.
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.
