A Carnival cruise passenger was awarded $300,000 in damages after alleging the ship's staff served her 14 tequila shots in eight hours. Diana Sanders sued Carnival Corporation in a Florida federal court, claiming she was overserved despite being visibly intoxicated on the Carnival Radiance in January 2024. Sanders fell down a flight of stairs and suffered severe injuries, including a concussion and back injuries. A federal jury in Miami found both Carnival and Sanders negligent, but determined the cruise line was 60% responsible. Carnival plans to appeal the decision, stating it 'respectfully disagrees with the verdict'. The incident highlights the responsibility of cruise lines to serve alcohol responsibly.
