About the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas

The Enchantment of the Seas is a Vision Class ship offering cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Known for its relaxing pool areas, rock climbing wall, solarium, and live entertainment, it provides a more laid-back cruise experience. But even on smaller ships, injuries may occur when safety standards are not maintained, and Royal Caribbean may be held liable for preventable accidents.

Possible Injury Claims on the Enchantment of the Seas

Passengers may be injured in cabins, walkways, pool areas, or during onboard and shore-based activities. Common claims may include:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Guests may slip in pool areas, hallways, or dining spaces due to spilled liquids or slick tile. If Royal Caribbean fails to clean hazards or post warning signs, they may be responsible for injuries such as broken bones or concussions.

Bunk Bed Injuries

Cabins with upper bunks or pull-down beds can be dangerous if they lack guardrails, are unstable, or are not properly secured. Children and adults alike may fall and suffer serious injuries.

Sliding Glass Door Malfunctions

Balcony cabins may feature automatic sliding doors. If the door sensors malfunction and the door closes on a guest, injuries such as head trauma, shoulder injuries, or broken fingers may result. These incidents are often preventable with regular maintenance.

Pool and Whirlpool Injuries

Slippery pool decks, poor supervision, or broken tiles can cause water-related injuries. Royal Caribbean generally has a duty to keep aquatic areas safe and properly staffed.

Activity Zone and Fitness Center Injuries

Guests may be injured while climbing the rock wall, working out in the gym, or participating in onboard activities. If equipment is broken or staff fail to provide proper instruction, the cruise line may be responsible.

Elevator and Stairwell Falls

Trips or falls in stairwells or elevators may happen due to poor lighting, uneven flooring, or malfunctioning elevator systems. Cruise lines must inspect and repair these areas regularly to prevent accidents.

Cabin Hazards

Guests may suffer injuries inside their cabins from broken furniture, loose carpeting, sharp edges, or unsecured fixtures. Royal Caribbean could be responsible for ensuring guest accommodations are kept safe.

Medical Negligence

If a shipboard doctor or nurse misdiagnoses a condition, delays care, or fails to evacuate a seriously injured passenger, Royal Caribbean may be held liable under maritime law.

Inadequate Security or Assault

Physical or sexual assaults may occur when lighting is poor, surveillance is limited, or security staff fail to intervene. Royal Caribbean should take reasonable steps to provide a secure environment for its guests.

Shore Excursion Injuries

Royal Caribbean may promote excursions such as snorkeling, boat tours, ziplining, or cultural walks. If an injury occurs due to a vendor’s negligence and the cruise line failed to properly vet or warn about safety risks, they may be liable.

Example Injury Scenarios

A guest could be struck by a sliding glass door that closed unexpectedly due to sensor failure. A child may fall from a bunk bed that lacked a guardrail. A passenger might slip on a wet stairwell with no caution signage. These incidents may support a legal claim if Royal Caribbean failed to take reasonable safety precautions.

Where to File an Enchantment of the Seas Injury Lawsuit

Royal Caribbean’s cruise ticket contract typically requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed in federal court in Miami, Florida, regardless of where your cruise departed or where you live. This forum selection clause is generally enforceable under U.S. maritime law.

Our firm regularly files cruise injury lawsuits in the Southern District of Florida and may be able to manage your case remotely.

Legal Deadlines for Filing a Claim

Cruise injury cases are subject to strict deadlines:

• Written notice must be submitted within 6 months of the date of injury
• A lawsuit must be filed within 1 year of the incident

Missing either deadline may prevent you from filing a claim. We encourage you to contact a lawyer promptly after your injury.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If your injury was caused by Royal Caribbean’s negligence, you may be entitled to seek compensation for:

• Emergency and follow-up medical care
• Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Travel and rehabilitation costs
• Wrongful death damages (in fatal injury cases)

We can help evaluate your damages and determine what may be recoverable in your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to report the injury during the cruise?
Not always. If you have supporting documentation — like medical records, photos, or witness names — you may still file a claim after disembarkation.

Can I sue if a sliding glass door closed on me?
Yes. If the door sensor malfunctioned and caused injury, and Royal Caribbean failed to fix or maintain it, you may have a valid claim.

Do I need to live in Florida to sue Royal Caribbean?
No. We represent clients nationwide and internationally. Most cruise injury claims can be handled remotely.

Can I sue for injuries during a shore excursion?
Yes, especially if the excursion was arranged or promoted by Royal Caribbean and lacked appropriate safety measures.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?
There are no fees or costs unless we recover compensation for you. Consultations are always free.
