MIAMI , Jan. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrity Cruise Lines is responsible for the death of Tennessee resident Robert Bever alleges a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by noted Miami Maritime Attorney Brett A. Rivkind . Bever, 68 of Athens, TN , was killed along with 11 others when their tour bus crashed and overturned as it drove between the cruise port in Costa Maya, Mexico and Mayan ruins in Eastern Mexico in late December, 2017. The tour was promoted and sold by Celebrity Cruises which is one of five cruise brands operated by global cruise vacation company Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. "The cruise ship companies typically defend cases involving crashes during shoreside excursions by claiming that the excursion operators are independent contractors for which the cruise ship company has no responsibility," said Rivkind. The suit, which seeks $20-Million , alleges that Celebrity was negligent by failing to adequately investigate the safety of the transport...

Sue Bryant explores Celebrity’s much-hyped new ship. You’d spot the new Celebrity Edge from miles away, thanks to the Magic Carpet. The 2,198-passenger ship, which made its debut in Miami in November, is adorned with a bright orange platform, the size of a tennis court, cantilevered over the starboard side and decked out with chic outdoor furniture, plants and a bar. The Magic Carpet is a smart piece of kit, moving up and down between decks, with different functions at each of four stops. On deck two, it’s used for luxury embarkation. On deck five, it’s an extension of the Raw on 5 seafood restaurant. At deck 14, it’s a chill-out bar next to the pool, and at the highest point, deck 16, an exclusive speciality restaurant. It would be easy to dismiss the Magic Carpet as a gimmick, but it’s already a big hit with passengers. With the sea-facing wall all glass, you really do feel as though you’re perched on the ‘edge’. If the Magic Carpet is impressive, the Eden lounge really had the e...
