Cruise Ship Legal Action: Widow Sues After Guest Served 33 Drinks and Pepper-Sprayed

A family holiday aboard a luxury cruise liner descended into a nightmare, culminating in a death that has now been ruled a homicide, according to a shocking new lawsuit. The fiancée of Michael Virgil, who died on a Royal Caribbean cruise last year, has launched legal action against the company.

The suit claims that ship staff served the 35-year-old a staggering amount of alcohol—at least 33 drinks—before he was subdued with sedatives and pepper spray in a 'fatal' struggle with security. The high-stakes legal battle seeks damages for the loss of a father and partner.
