Crushed in an elevator shaft
I discuss a devastating incident where a crew member on the Carnival-owned cruise ship P&O Arvia was crushed in an elevator shaft last October. The UK Marine investigating body ruled it an accident, but I highlight the serious safety concerns surrounding cruise ship elevators. I explain how these elevators differ from shoreside elevators—cruise ships typically conduct their own inspections rather than using independent third parties, unlike U.S. shoreside elevators which are regularly inspected by external bodies. I also note that crew members and their families often have limited compensation rights under standard cruise contracts, even in tragic situations like this. I share my condolences with the crew member's family and encourage viewers to stay informed as more details emerge.
