Tragic Incident on Taylor Swift-Themed Cruise: Family Files Lawsuit Against Royal Caribbean Group
A woman named Dulcie White tragically fell overboard during a Taylor Swift-themed cruise on the Allure of the Seas operated by Royal Caribbean Group. Despite immediate alerts and search efforts, her body was never recovered. White's family has filed a lawsuit against the cruise company, alleging that the crew negligently served her excessive alcohol, leading to her intoxication and subsequent fall overboard.
The lawsuit claims that White was continuously served at least seven alcoholic beverages within a short period, causing visible signs of intoxication. The family argues that the crewmembers were negligent in serving her while she was clearly intoxicated. The complaint also mentions the cruise's all-inclusive alcohol package, which allowed guests to consume up to 15 drinks per day for a fixed price.
White's daughter, Megan Klewin, expressed her sadness over her mother's tragic death, attributing it to the cruise's drink package. She recalled the moment when White went towards the balcony and ultimately fell overboard, describing her mother's intoxicated state and the crew's lack of intervention. The lawsuit also criticizes the crew's response to the incident, claiming that standard ship maneuvers were not performed, and a rescue boat was not launched.
Royal Caribbean Group declined to comment on the ongoing litigation. The family's lawsuit seeks accountability for the crew's actions and the circumstances that led to Dulcie White's tragic death on the Taylor Swift-themed cruise.
