Today's Union Leader has a follow up story about the drowning on Halloween, 2006. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission yesterday issued a $1500. fine against the cruise ship for serving liquor to an already intoxicated person. In addition to the fine, the adult beverage crew is required to undergo a training program on correct procedures for serving adult beverages to adults who are already drunk. The boat will lose its' adult beverage license for a specified time period, as well.
One has to assume this will be an important arguing point in the pending civil suit of the estate of the deceased verses the big white cruise boat.
