A woman that was aboard the ship is now suing Carnival. She says she " suffered a permanent bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish and a loss of capacity to enjoy life." Attorney James Walker says the passengers are not really entitled to anything because the cruise line covered all their bases in fine print on the bottom of each ticket. To make up for the cruise, Carnival reimbursed each passenger for the cruise, gave them a free cruise, and $500 cash. This is more than the company was " legally obligated to provide." This is the first of many lawsuits against Carnival.
