‘Bottomless beverages’: Man dies on cruise after being served 33 drinks, turns out he’d paid for one package that made it all possible

A 35-year-old man named Michael Virgil died on a Royal Caribbean cruise after he was served 33 alcoholic drinks. Court papers show he had bought the cruise line’s unlimited drink package. His death has now been ruled a homicide, and people are asking serious questions about how cruise companies handle their all-you-can-drink deals. 

According to the NY Post, Virgil was on the Navigator of the Seas ship heading to Mexico with his fiancée and his 7-year-old son, who has autism. When they got on the ship, their room wasn’t ready yet. Crew members told them to wait at a bar. His fiancée later took their son to check on the room, leaving Virgil alone at the bar.
