This is for the man that amputated his index finger.  Make sure that no one has opened the cabin door at the  same time, that is a big problem people have done in the past. This for September 2023,and don't wait 2 years to seek council just say'n.

@Terry You rock for this comment. I agree this is almost ridiculous. Everyone knows you can't leave your fingers in a doorway. It's common sense. The only way to avoid this issue is truly to have no secure balcony cabin doors. Why did a take a year for this lawsuit to come to fruition anyways? Some people are just looking for a handout. I'm sad about the finger loss; that's intense, but I don't think it's a viable lawsuit.

There is only one solution to this problem - remove all doors on all cruise ships ASAP!  Doors kill…or at least maim.

@FJB This post needed some comic relief! I love the humor here because the idea of removing all balcony doors, or all doors for that matter, is ridiculous. I can't imagine a ship without doors. How unsafe would that be?

I'm pretty sure I've seen signs by the doors to be careful as doors will slam shut. Don't remember exact wording but certainly got the drift... but I can read so that might cause issues for some 😅

@FJB  That would be great; no doors allowed on cruise ships and no privacy for anyone. I just don't understand why people aren't more cautious. There has to be more to the story.

@euroguy I have seen signs too! You have to use common sense. Like I tell my children, never leave your fingers in any doorway. Car doors can do the same thing. I have had the wind slam a car door on me before! I have also had the wind slam my car door open to hit a car parked next to me. That was super unfortunate. 

The "I can read" comment is fabulous. That could be the missing link to the story here.
