Paul S. Edelman, of counsel at Kriendler & Kriendler, and James E. Mercante a partner at Rubin, Fiorella & Friedman, write that with the recent disappearance of a passenger on open waters, the cruise lines are in the news.

The ticket is a contract that generally binds the passenger to terms stating, for example, where to sue, the time to commence suit and what law will apply.
