Passenger claims storm on Royal Caribbean ship led to wife's death

In:
31 Jan 2011

Remember the news of Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas being hit by that big storm in the Mediterranean?  Well a woman who cruised on that ship during that storm has died and her husband believes it was because of her experience on the ship.

Barbara Davey slipped into a coma just three days after dealing with the giant waves impacting Brilliance of the Seas while in her stateroom.  When the ship docked in Malta, she was transferred to a hospital but she never recovered and was airlifted back to the United Kingdom.

Barbara's husband, John Davey, wants answers and restitution.  He is planning to sue Royal Caribbean over the incident because he feels the ship should have never left port after weather reports prior to the cruise hinted at the possibility of bad weather.
