I was injured on a cruise ship — is there a deadline to make a claim?
I slipped on a wet deck during a cruise and broke my wrist. The ship’s doctor treated me. I have been home a few weeks and the injury is not healing well.

Cruise passenger claims often have unusually short deadlines. The passenger ticket contract frequently requires written notice of a claim within a short period and a lawsuit within a limited time, and it may specify which court and country the claim must be brought in.
Find your ticket contract (usually available online through your booking), note any notice deadlines, and keep your medical records, photos and the ship’s incident report if you have one.
