Hurt on the Celebrity Infinity? Legal Help for Injured Cruise Passengers

About the Celebrity Infinity

The Celebrity Infinity is a Millennium Class cruise ship that sails to destinations including the Caribbean, South America, and Europe. The ship features pools, lounges, restaurants, a spa, and modern staterooms. While the Infinity offers a relaxing experience at sea, passengers can suffer injuries when ship conditions are unsafe or proper procedures aren’t followed.

Celebrity Cruises may be held liable for injuries caused by negligence, poor maintenance, or failure to provide adequate medical or security services.

Common Injury Claims on the Celebrity Infinity

Passengers may suffer injuries in a variety of onboard locations — including cabins, stairwells, elevators, pool decks, restaurants, or during shore excursions. Common injury claims include:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet flooring near pools, buffet spills, mopped hallways, or uneven decking can lead to dangerous falls. If Celebrity failed to post warning signs or address known hazards, they may be responsible.

Bunk Bed and Cabin Hazards

Some cabins may include upper bunks or fold-down beds. If these are missing guardrails, are poorly secured, or collapse, guests may be seriously injured. Other hazards include broken furniture, loose carpet, or sharp fixtures.

Sliding Glass Door Malfunctions

Automatic balcony doors are convenient — but if sensors fail and doors close without warning, guests may suffer injuries such as broken fingers, shoulder dislocations, or facial trauma. These doors require routine inspection and maintenance.

Pool and Hot Tub Injuries

Wet, slippery deck surfaces, overcrowded spas, or broken tiles may lead to slips and falls. NCL may be liable if pool areas are not properly supervised or maintained.

Fitness Center and Activity Injuries

Passengers may be injured while using exercise equipment if it is defective, improperly maintained, or if staff fail to provide adequate instruction.

Elevator and Stairwell Falls

Trips and falls in these areas may be caused by poor lighting, uneven steps, malfunctioning elevators, or broken handrails. Celebrity Cruises generally must ensure these areas are kept safe through regular maintenance.

Medical Negligence

Onboard medical staff must provide competent care. If a doctor or nurse misdiagnoses an issue, delays evacuation, or provides substandard treatment, Celebrity may be held accountable.

Assault or Inadequate Security

Security personnel must act quickly in the event of altercations or threats. If passengers are assaulted or injured due to lack of surveillance, poor lighting, or delayed crew response, Celebrity Cruises may be held liable.

Shore Excursion Injuries

Celebrity often offers excursions like ziplining, snorkeling, and sightseeing. If you were injured during an excursion arranged or endorsed by Celebrity, and safety measures were lacking, the cruise line may be partially responsible.

Example Injury Scenarios

• A balcony door sensor malfunctions, and the door closes on a guest’s hand.
• A child falls from a top bunk without a guardrail.
• A passenger slips on a wet floor near the buffet without warning signage.
• A guest’s chest pain is misdiagnosed by the ship’s medical team, delaying evacuation.

Each of these may support a negligence claim against Celebrity Cruises.

Where to File a Celebrity Infinity Injury Lawsuit

Celebrity Cruises generally requires that lawsuits for injuries aboard their ships be filed in federal court in Miami, Florida, regardless of the cruise’s departure port. This forum selection clause is enforceable under U.S. maritime law.

Our firm regularly handles cruise ship injury lawsuits in the Southern District of Florida and can manage your case remotely.

Legal Deadlines for Filing a Claim

Cruise ship injury claims must meet specific legal deadlines:

• Written notice of your claim must be submitted within 6 months
• Your lawsuit must be filed within 1 year of the incident

Failing to meet these deadlines may result in your claim being dismissed. Contact a cruise injury lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If you were injured aboard the Celebrity Infinity, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Emergency and follow-up medical treatment
• Lost wages or reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Travel and rehabilitation costs
• Long-term disability or disfigurement
• Wrongful death damages (in fatal cases)

We can assess your claim and help pursue the full value of your damages.

Frequently Asked Questions
