A former passenger of the Costa Luminosa filed a class-action lawsuit against Costa Cruises on April 7, claiming the cruise line failed to warn passengers about a potential exposure to the CCP virus and placing them at risk.
The plaintiff, identified as Paul Turner of Wisconsin, claims in his lawsuit (pdf) that the cruise line did not inform passengers about an individual who was previously aboard the vessel for a former voyage, who disembarked after displaying symptoms consistent with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
