Cruise ships contain numerous environments where passengers gather for recreation, dining, and entertainment. Certain areas onboard tend to experience higher levels of passenger activity and therefore may present a greater likelihood of accidents occurring.
Common locations where cruise ship accidents may occur include:
• pool decks and hot tub areas
• stairways connecting passenger decks
• buffet restaurants and dining areas
• water slides and recreational attractions
• spas and locker rooms
• passenger cabin bathrooms
• balcony areas and railings
• tender boat boarding areas
• excursion departure docks
Wet surfaces, ship movement, and heavy passenger traffic may contribute to accidents in these environments.
