A jury decided a cruise line was not responsible for a passenger’s slip that she claimed resulted in a shoulder fracture.
Lydia Rosenfeld, then 58, was aboard an Oceania Cruises ship in the Mediterranean. As she was walking on a ceramic tile floor near the buffet bar of a café, she slipped and fell.

Rosenfeld alleged she fell on a slippery wet substance. She claimed Oceania should have had a nonskid surface in the buffet area.
