Judge Dismisses Honeymoon Cruise Lawsuit[/size]

Source: Savvy Lifestyle Portal

A Miami judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Royal Caribbean by the family of a Greenwich man who disappeared from his honeymoon cruise, the cruise company said Wednesday.

The family of George Allen Smith IV sued July 5, 2005, after he disappeared while on a cruise in the Aegean Sea. His body was never recovered, though bloodstains were found on an awning underneath the newlywed's cabin balcony.

The FBI is still investigating. Smith's parents and sister alleged in their lawsuit that the cruise company tried to cover up the incident to avoid liability and negative publicity.

Royal Caribbean representatives have said the cruise line exceeded its legal requirements when it contacted the FBI and other authorities immediately after learning about Smith's disappearance.

The lawsuit was an amended version of one that previously was dismissed. An attorney for the Smith family, Brett Rivkind, said the family plans to appeal.
