” All the things you mentioned would be evidence that they did take the safety of their passengers into consideration.”
They knew before they left port in Seattle the threat to their passengers was going to be there. They made no effort to warn the passengers that it was a threat. They changed the situation with the on deck actions because they didn’t want to wash anyone over board. They changed the ships float plan by lowering the speeds to keep crew safe on the stage, then forced everyone into their rooms knowing how rough it was going to be and allowed them to ricochet in the rooms with items flying around without warning. The only safety they promoted was their money being safely in the bank and then lied to the passengers at the first port. If they didn’t think they did anything wrong, then why did they put passengers in danger without telling them it was going to happen, change the format of the cruise, and then fail to warn the passengers of the danger that would be in the rooms? That is loving the money a whole lot more than being concerned with the safety of the passengers. And as I displayed in a previous thread, they can be sued and just tried to get away with it. I swore I’d never get on another cruise of that company again and from the passengers I talked with, they won’t either.
If there is no opportunity to sue, I live in Tacoma and we have a number of maritime attorneys that specialize in recoup from martitime based lawsuits. A few are:
Alaska Bar Association, Oregon State Bar, King County Bar, Joeseph s. Stacey are just a few. Waks and Barnett are one of the leaders in the industry:

Since you know so many maritime lawyer, contact one and see if they think you have a case.
Btw, those things you mentioned, ie, recucing speed, are evidence that the cruise line was not acting negligently.
