Take a look at the worst cruise ship disasters in recent history.
A cruise ended early after bacteria was discovered on Fred Olsen Cruise M.S. Black Watch in 2007, but days after returning home, passenger Robert Heath died in his home. An inquest later ruled that Fred Olsen Cruises exposed Heath to Legionnaires' disease, and found that the two doctors he saw did not prescribe adequate medication and failed to respond to his worsening condition. The cruise line eventually paid out over $100,000 to settle the case.
