I Went To Court (Los Angeles) For Carnival in 1987

True story, I was on the Tropical in October 1987 and was sharing a cabin with some buddies.

We ended up meeting these girls from the LA area and hung with them the entire week.

During the course of the cruise one of girls (supposedly) went down the pool slide and said she hit her head on the way down. Of course everybody was drinking.

I didn't think anything of it until a couple weeks went by and a lawyer representing Carnival Cruise Lines called me and asked me to testify in court in their defense. The girls and their mother filed suit in the LA court.

I did take the stand and but indicated at the time that I had no knowledge of the incident.

I found our weeks later that the suit was thrown out. Carnival called and thanked me but unsure if they offered me a free cruise or anything.

Needless to say it's been over 30 years since my last Carnival cruise, I need to give them a try again.

Me in front of the beautiful Tropicale (not sure if that pier was Mazatlan or PV).

This is a great story and better picture.

Surely you've been cruising other lines in the 30 years since your last Carnival cruise? No way you meant you haven't cruised at all in 30 years, right?

Yes cruised other lines (X, Princess, NCL....), but need to discover Carnival again, I mean 30 years is a long time to be away from a friend.

Yes, 30 years is a long time. By the time I set sail on the Breeze in March 2019,it will be 12 years since my last Carnival Cruise, as I’ve sailed RCCL and NCL since. Excited to be back to the “fun ships”!!
