A class action lawsuit filed on behalf of more than 1,000 Celebrity Cruises employees alleges the company failed to protect its crew members working aboard ships amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.

after a crew member working on the Celebrity Infinity died after being medically evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The USCG confirmed the employee had coronavirus-like symptoms.

"Despite having notice that COVID-19 was and/or likely was present aboard the vessels," the complaint alleges the company allowed its employees to attend crew parties aboard the ships, eat in buffet settings and mandated their participation in shipboard drills. "With all of the information around the world about COVID and how dangerous it is and how people are dying around the world, I was a little surprised that no one was taking precautions," Nedeltcheva told ABC News."No masks, no screenings."

Nedeltcheva said during the quarantine no one from Celebrity called to check on her well-being for 10 days. Children walk past the new Celebrity cruises ship "Celebrity Apex" at Les Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyards, in Saint-Nazaire, France, April 2, 2020, on the seventeenth day of a strict lockdown in France to stop the spread of COVID-19 .

greta Maybe New Yorkers should look into suing their elected leaders...DeBlasio, Cuomo, who were encouraging them to attend Chinese NY events...so they didn't look racist

Fuck all cruise lines, they massively pollute our waters and the people on them are mega consumers, we all need to scale it back.

greta No mention of country of origin of the cruise lines. Can you sue a company not considered U.S. company? Most are not U.S. companies.
