Cases involving injuries to cruise ship passengers may include injuries, deaths, missing passengers who apparently fell in the ocean, passengers being hit by falling objects, food poisoning, being thrown by rough seas due to the neglect of the captain and nearly every other conceivable type of injury possible on land can exist on cruise ships. Injuries also occur when passengers leave the ship to visit ports of call. Cruise ships arrange and promote tours, trips, scuba, fishing and other activities and sometimes they do not check out or monitor the safety of these companies that provide the services the cruise ship sells to the passengers.
Rosemary Beach is an unincorporated master planned community in Walton County, Florida, United States. A traditional new town development designed by Duany Plater Zyberk & Company, Rosemary Beach followed in the footsteps of Seaside in recreating the feel of a community. Founded in 1995, the town encompasses about 105 acres (0.42 km) and when completed will have just over 500 homesites and a mixed use town center with shops, restaurants, and activities. As of November, 2006, the town is more than 70% complete. It looks out on the white sands of the Emerald Coast and is within Inlet Beach, Florida. Rosemary Beach was the location for the HGTV Dream Home contest in 1999 where a lucky contestant won a furnished home and an automobile. The town is a master-planned community located on the popular beachside road, 30-A. Its design is to remind visitors of a West Indies beachside resort.
