Well that didn't take long

The first lawsuit has been filed in the wake of the crippled Carnival Triumph cruise that left thousands of passengers in miserable conditions for days.
Texas resident Cassie Terry sued Carnival Corp. on Friday in Miami federal court. The suit seeks unspecified damages, saying Terry feared for her life or that she might suffer serious injury or illness because of the presence of raw sewage and spoiled food.
Carnival cruise ship tickets require that all lawsuits be filed in Miami. Maritime attorneys say it's difficult but not impossible to win a case unless the plaintiff can show actual injury or illness.

Her lawyer must have been there to pick her up the minute they hit port.

I'm pretty sure they sign waivers for this type of instance, but Carnival will settle with everyone out of court anyways.

one of my high school friends (In the black cozumel shirt) was on the ship and got on the houston news.

Well I guess I am one of very very few that's able to say I SURVIVED THE CARNIVAL TRIUMPH CRUISE 2013!
Thank you to all my friends and family for the prayers and concerns. Because of y'all, I had faith to pull through such a crazy, difficult time.

Strange how cruise lines based in foreign countries are shielded from law suits yet air lines aren't.
