Overview
- A wrongful-death suit filed Oct. 28 in the Southern District of Florida alleges Royal Caribbean staff over-served 66-year-old Dulcie White before she fell overboard in 2024.
- The filing claims she was given at least seven alcoholic drinks in about six hours despite visible intoxication, citing an all-inclusive package that allows up to 15 drinks per day.
- White’s daughter, Megan Klewin, says she saw her mother seated on the balcony railing before the fall; White’s body was never recovered.
- The suit alleges the ship failed to execute standard man-overboard maneuvers or launch rescue boats, while separate reporting notes multi-agency searches that did not find her.
- Royal Caribbean declined to comment on pending litigation, and the family’s attorney says the goal is accountability and ending all-you-can-drink offerings under High Seas Act constraints.
