John Davey from Scotland who was aboard Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas in December when it was rocked violently by extreme winds and waves has said the event led to his wife’s death.
He tells The Mirror his wife, Barbara Davey, fell into a coma three days after being thrown about her cabin during the incident. She was taken to a hospital after the 2,100-passenger ship reached Malta and then airlifted back to Britain but never recovered and died on January 7th.
Royal Caribbean said last month that more than 100 passengers were injured during the incident, which it has called serious, but the line said the injuries were mostly minor. The line said the ship unexpectedly experienced extreme conditions as it was approaching Alexandria, Egypt, that caused the vessel to roll sharply. Passenger photos posted online after the incident show toppled furniture, broken glass and other signs of a violent event.
The Mirror says Davey is suing Royal Caribbean, alleging the ship never should have sailed into the stormy weather. "Barbara was tossed around the cabin and was seriously hurt," Davey tells the Mirror. "When the storm calmed and we came out of our cabins, it looked like a bomb had gone off inside the ship."
