Carnival Crusie Ship Accidnet Attorney Update: Sixty passengers on Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Ecstasy were injured when the crusie ship listed at sea.

Sixty passengers on Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Ecstasy were injured on April 21, 2010 when the passenger ship listed at sea off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

The ship perform a severe maneuver allegedly to avoid a large buoy that "was adrift and mostly submerged, thereby preventing it from being detected by the ship's radar."  It is unclear why the buoy was not seen by the crew prior to the pint where an emergency turn was required, causing the list.  It is also unclear why the ship was designed such that such a severe listing could occur through steering input, given the high risk of injury from severe listing.

Similar to the Crown Princess cruise ship listing accident several years ago, pools emptied and debris became airborne as the boat began to severely heel.Passengers lost their foot or were otherwise thrown to the low side of the ship, suffering injuries ranging from bruising to more serious injuries. 

Traverse Legal's cruise ship attorneys represented the largest number of Crown Princess passengers in the 2007 listing accident.

Carnival cruise lines is down playing this ordeal I wonder if they think there will be more law suits against them. They were lucky to have extra guests who were nurses who were cruising at the time, or it could have been worse if they did not volunteer to help the passengers. After all this did carnival cruise lines give all the guests some kind of compensation with what happened? Oh I forgot this companys logo is we do not care!I have cruised on 44 ships with this cruise line I have had my share of GRIEF from customer relations
