We have previously reported that Carnival Cruise’s “new” ship the Sunshine has a big problem with unreasonably slippery exterior decks. Our law firm has recently been hired to represent passenger who slipped and fallen on this Port Canaveral based cruise ship. In this case, the passenger fell on the Lido or pool deck. Despite the cruise line’s marketing, the Sunshine is not a new ship. In fact, it was originally launched in 1995 as the Density. The ship was re-launched in May 2013 and renamed the Sunshine. It is noteworthy that it is not often a ship that was just dry-docked to have so many slip and falls. This makes one wonder if the decking surface was improperly installed.
