With over 5 million cruise passengers traveling through PortMiami in 2017 alone, it is not surprising that the port is well recognized as the “cruise capital of the world.” While the heavy volume of ships and passengers is a critical component of the region’s economy, a wide range of accidents and injuries can occur on these vessels. From slip and falls and swimming pool accidents to sexual assaults and injuries caused by crew negligence, the experience on a cruise ship is not always a positive one for passengers. In addition, members of the crew are at high risk of injury while working aboard a cruising vessel.
