Is the Cruise Line Always Responsible for Injuries at the Port? What You Need to Know
Many cruise passengers assume the cruise line is responsible for their safety the moment they step off the ship. But when it comes to injuries that happen at the port—whether it’s slipping on a wet dock, falling during a shore excursion, or getting hurt while boarding a tender boat—the legal responsibility isn’t always clear. In fact, cruise lines often try to distance themselves from liability by blaming third-party vendors or port authorities. At Perkins Law Offices, we help injury victims in Miami and beyond understand who is truly at fault and what legal rights they have after a port-related accident.
