Diana Sanders went on a Carnival cruise expecting a relaxing vacation and ended up with 14 (or more) tequila shots in under nine hours, a dramatic stair tumble, a possible traumatic brain injury, and a £220,000 ($300,000) payout after a Miami jury decided Carnival’s all-inclusive drink packages were a bit too “all-inclusive.” Her lawyer argued the ship was designed like a floating booze maze with bars in every corner, pressuring staff to keep pouring for tips. Carnival disagrees and is eyeing an appeal, but the verdict sends a clear message: next time someone offers you unlimited shots, maybe pace yourself… or at least have a good lawyer on speed dial.
