This sad tale just seems to grow legs. Get drunk on a cruise ship, get stupid and it is someone else's fault. Sigh.....:rolleyes:

I remember following this story at the time. So tragic it almost seemed fiction. The parents and sister came across as irrational and unable to accept that George's behavior contributed in any way to what is most likely a terrible accident. At the time many statements they made were slanderous. I understand their shock and grief but they refuse to accept anything other than foul play. I don't think the widow should have received any compensation but understand RCCL just wanted the whole thing to be settled. I hope any additional documentation can bring some closure and acceptance to what was a bizarre and horrible accident.
