Nurse who downed at least 14 tequila shots wins $300,000 in lawsuit against cruise line
- 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.
