Royal Caribbean cruise ship captain said sarcastic claim wouldn’t have mattered to response

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for any claims of self-harm or violence… When these things happen, it will always end up with the person being taken off the ship,” he said in response to questioning from David Conlan Smyth SC, instructed by Noble Shipping Law, for defendant booking agent Trailfinders Ireland Limited and third-party RCL Cruises Limited.“We are out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We have had people who have taken their own life, that have jumped overboard.

Cross-examining, Robert Fitzpatrick SC, instructed by Conways Solicitors, asked how Cptn Selvag could believe Ms Fanning’s life was saved that night when the psychiatrist later found there was nothing wrong with her.Cptn Selvag said the decision to disembark Ms Fanning was taken for her safety and the safety of other passengers.

She said the receptionist mentioned a medical emergency and, understanding the receptionist to be speaking sarcastically, Ms Fanning responded sarcastically by saying “there may be one tomorrow” and “there may be a suicide”. Ms Fanning and her daughter were brought to an interior cabin that had been cleared of cutlery, hangers and other sharp objects.
