Graduation Trip Ends in Tragedy

A stunning tragedy unfolded when a 22-year-old Alabama woman lost both legs during a supposed graduation celebration cruise excursion in the Bahamas—now she’s suing Carnival Cruise Line and the shore excursion operators, alleging they overserved her alcohol and marijuana before the accident. During disembarkation, she was allegedly directed to use the water as a restroom and was pulled into a spinning propeller. Her legal team blames negligent safety practices, poor oversight of third-party providers, and unsafe vessel operations. After multiple surgeries—including a hip disarticulation—Smith is now recovering with the help of a family fundraising effort, while the case pushes for accountability in the cruise industry’s shore excursion safety standards.
