When one bartender in a bar over serves someone, there is the assumption that he/she knew this was the same customer who was drinking too much. The environment on a cruise ship is so different...there are multiple bars, and lots of people coming and going. I would have to know that one single bartender served all those shots to blame the cruise line.

Good post yours. I was going to say the same thing.

If she was going from bar to bar and getting one or two shots at each, I can’t see how Carnival can be blamed.

But I would perhaps feel differently if she had been driving from bar to bar, and then hit someone on the road. Should bartenders be experts at identifying already-drunk patrons?

No easy answer here.

I would think since you have to use your passenger card to get a drink, it would show many drinks that person has been served over a period of time.

I’ve only been on one cruise, but they scanned my key card every time I got a drink. It should be very easy to know how much someone has been served during a set time period.
