American Couple Win Sept 11 Cruise Lawsuit

Ten years after an American couple backed out of their Bermuda cruise after the 9/11 attacks, a U.S court has ruled that Norwegian Cruise Line must refund the cost of their tickets.

The Boston Herald reported that: “A decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks frightened the Worcester couple out of embarking on a cruise to Bermuda five days later, the state’s highest court has ruled that Norwegian Cruise Line engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices.”

“The court ruled that for failing to fully disclose its refund policy to the Casavants, and then refusing to reimburse the $2,135 cost of their trip, the cruise line must pay the couple back.”

“After the Casavants sued Norwegian in 2002, a lower-court judge ruled that their tickets be refunded. Now, per order of the state Supreme Judicial Court, Norwegian is on the hook for damages and attorney fees, too.”
