Nurse Diana Sanders won a jury verdict awarding $300,000 against Carnival Corp. for overserving her alcohol on a cruise.
The eight-and-a-half hour voyage saw Sanders drink about 14 to 15 alcoholic beverages across six ship taverns.
The jury attributed 60% of the negligence to Carnival and 40% to Sanders.
Sanders reported injuries including concussion, headaches, and back injuries after a fall on the stairs.
Carnival disputes the verdict and said it may seek a new trial or appeal.
The ship was cruising along Baja California during Sanders' eight-and-a-half-hour drinking period.
The suit argued the crew should have supervised or assisted passengers engaging in dangerous behavior.
Sanders said she faced conflicting information from crew after the incident and felt treated like a criminal.
Carnival Panorama and other vessels are referenced in related coverage about cruise-line policies.
The case adds to ongoing conversations about alcohol service and safety on cruise ships.
