Overserved at Sea: Drink Limits, Liability, and Passenger Safety

This week, Trevor, Tom, and Jenn take a more serious turn as they discuss a tragic death aboard a Royal Caribbean ship—and the uncomfortable questions surrounding alcohol service at sea.We break down what happens when drink limits don’t exist, how overserving can spiral into real danger, and if cruise lines need clearer policies and stronger accountability. From Royal’s non‑limit approach to how other major cruise lines cap daily drinks, we compare systems, risks, and where responsibility truly lies.This isn’t about shaming passengers—it’s about safety, transparency, and whether current cruise policies are doing enough to protect guests when alcohol is unlimited but consequences aren’t.A thoughtful, honest conversation every cruiser should hear.
