Diana Sanders, a nurse at a Vacaville hospital, filed the lawsuit after the January 2024 incident aboard the Carnival Radiance.
According to the lawsuit, "Carnival crewmembers served [Sanders] approximately fourteen alcoholic beverages within a span of approximately eight hours... due to her inebriated state that was caused by this over-service of alcohol... [she] suffered a severe fall."
As for the fact that this presumably took place in international waters, Reichel says those laws would still apply.
Sanders claims she was visibly intoxicated, blacked out and woke up at the bottom of a crew-only stairwell, where she suffered a head injury and was covered in bruises she could not explain on her inner thighs and arms.
Sanders says she filed the lawsuit because the cruise line would provide no video showing what unfolded.
According to the lawsuit, her injuries were severe. It reads, "As a result of these crewmembers' misrepresentations, [Sanders] has suffered severe bodily injuries resulting in pain and suffering, disability, scarring, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of independence, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment."
"When you serve somebody who is visibly intoxicated repeatedly drink after drink after drink, it can lead to disastrous consequences," said Aronfeld.
Considering that Sanders had purchased a drink package on the cruise, Aronfeld says this case highlights the dangers of overconsumption and popular all-inclusive drink packages.
"You couldn't be more right that the expectation of what they're purchasing is the experience that she had... you know, I think it's within limitations, and the alcohol is the limitation," Reichel said.
Carnival representatives told CBS News they disagree with the verdict and plan to pursue an appeal and a new trial.
