The parents of a toddler who fell from an open cruise ship window are publicly faulting the cruise line for their daughter's death.

"We obviously blame them," Kimberly Wiegand told NBC News's "Today" show in an interview that aired Monday. "There are a million things that could have been done to make that safer."

"He was extremely hysterical," Kimberly Wiegand said, who referred to Anello as Sam. "The thing that he has repeatedly told us is, 'I believed that there was glass.' He will cry over and over. At no point ever, ever, has Sam ever put our kids in danger." "To that I say, get a fan, come up with some other mechanisms to make your guests comfortable rather than creating a tremendous safety hazard that cost our child her life," she said.

A spokesman for Royal Caribbean Cruises, the Miami-based parent company that owns Royal Caribbean International, released the same statement to The Washington Post and NBC News.
