The family of a man who died on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in December 2024 recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the cruise liner.

The lawsuit accused the company of intoxicating Michael Virgil on a “Navigator of the Seas” cruise by serving him 33 drinks and using “excessive force” against him before his death, according to KTLA.

Virgil, 35, died on Dec. 13, 2024, while on a four-day cruise from Los Angeles to Ensenada, Mexico, with his fiancée, son and his family.

Virgil took part in the ship’s all-inclusive “Deluxe Beverage” package and was served at least 33 alcoholic beverages before his death, the lawsuit claims.

The family’s lawsuit claims he became visibly intoxicated and agitated, but crew members allegedly kept serving him drinks anyway.
