Hurt on the Celebrity Constellation? Legal Help for Injured Cruise Ship Passengers
If you were injured aboard the Celebrity Constellation, you may be entitled to compensation under maritime law. Cruise ship injuries can result from preventable conditions like slippery decks, unsafe bunk beds, automatic sliding glass doors that close on passengers due to sensor failure, or negligent onboard medical care. At the Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we represent passengers nationwide and internationally who were hurt on Celebrity Cruises ships and may be able to help you file a legal claim.

About the Celebrity Constellation
The Celebrity Constellation, part of Celebrity’s Millennium Class, offers sailings throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond. With its recently upgraded cabins, pools, lounges, spa, and elegant dining options, the ship provides an upscale experience. But no matter how luxurious the setting, injuries may still occur — particularly if safety protocols are ignored or maintenance is lacking.
Celebrity Cruises may be held liable if you were injured due to their failure to provide a reasonably safe environment or adequate care.
Common Injury Claims on the Celebrity Constellation
Injuries may occur in a variety of onboard locations, including cabins, stairwells, pool decks, public areas, or while participating in excursions. Common injury claims include:
Slip and Fall Accidents
Passengers may slip on wet tile in bathrooms, pool decks, spas, or buffet areas. If Celebrity failed to clean the hazard promptly or did not post warning signs, they may be responsible for any resulting injuries.
Bunk Bed Injuries
In cabins with fold-down or upper bunk beds, falls may occur if the beds are unstable, unsecured, or lack guardrails. These injuries can be especially serious for children and older adults.
Sliding Glass Door Malfunctions
Balcony cabins on the Constellation may include automatic sliding glass doors. When sensors fail or maintenance is lacking, the doors can close unexpectedly and cause hand, head, or shoulder injuries.
Pool and Spa Area Injuries
Guests may be injured by slipping near pools or hot tubs, being burned by overheated water, or encountering broken equipment. These areas require consistent monitoring and upkeep.
Fitness and Recreation Injuries
Passengers may be hurt while using gym equipment or participating in sports activities onboard. If staff fail to supervise or equipment is defective, Celebrity may be liable.
Elevator and Stairwell Falls
Injuries from falls may result from broken steps, loose railings, uneven surfaces, or sudden elevator stops. These common areas require routine inspections.
Cabin Hazards
Guests may suffer injuries inside their cabins due to broken furniture, sharp fixtures, loose carpeting, or unstable bunk ladders. Cruise lines must generally keep staterooms in safe condition for all guests.
Medical Negligence
Shipboard doctors and nurses are responsible for providing competent care in emergencies. If a guest suffers harm due to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or failure to evacuate, Celebrity may be held responsible.
Security Failures or Assaults
Passengers may be injured due to physical or sexual assaults if crew members fail to intervene, lighting is inadequate, or security staff are absent. Celebrity Cruises generally has a duty to provide reasonable security and respond to threats.
Shore Excursion Injuries
If you were hurt during an excursion arranged or endorsed by Celebrity — such as a snorkeling trip or guided hike — and the tour operator failed to ensure safety, the cruise line may share liability.
Example Injury Scenarios
- A balcony door sensor malfunctions and closes on a passenger’s hand.
- A guest slips on a wet buffet floor that lacked warning signs.
- A child falls from a bunk bed with no guardrail.
- A medical issue is misdiagnosed and worsens due to delayed treatment.
These are examples of incidents that may support a legal claim if Celebrity failed to act with reasonable care.
Where to File a Celebrity Constellation Injury Lawsuit
Celebrity Cruises generally requires that injury lawsuits be filed in federal court in Miami, Florida, regardless of where the cruise departed or where the injured passenger resides. This forum selection clause is enforceable under U.S. maritime law.
We regularly file cruise ship injury lawsuits in the Southern District of Florida and can manage most cases remotely.
Legal Deadlines for Filing a Claim
Cruise injury claims must be filed within specific deadlines:
- Written notice must be submitted within 6 months of the injury
- A lawsuit must be filed within 1 year of the incident date
Missing either deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation. We recommend speaking with a lawyer promptly to preserve your rights.
What Compensation May Be Available?
If Celebrity Cruises was negligent, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Travel and rehabilitation expenses
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)
We can evaluate your case and help you determine which damages may apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to report the injury while on the ship?
While it’s helpful, it’s not required. You can still pursue a claim using medical records, photographs, or witness accounts after the cruise.
Can I sue if a sliding glass door closed on me?
Yes. If the door malfunctioned due to a sensor failure or poor maintenance and caused injury, Celebrity Cruises may be liable.
Do I need to live in Florida to file a lawsuit?
No. We represent clients throughout the U.S. and internationally. Most of the legal process can be handled remotely.
Can I file a claim if I was injured during a Celebrity excursion?
Yes. If Celebrity arranged or promoted the excursion and the vendor failed to ensure safety, the cruise line may share responsibility.
What does it cost to hire your firm?
There are no fees or costs unless we recover compensation for you. Consultations are always free.
