Did You Get Sick as a Passenger on a Cruise?

Cruise ship passengers can also seek compensation when they get sick onboard in many cases. Cruise lines have a duty to protect their passengers from foodborne and communicable diseases, including:

  • Listeria
  • Legionnaires’ disease
  • Norovirus

These, too, are just examples. If the cruise line should have undertaken measures to protect your health and failed to do so, you could have a claim for significant financial compensation.
