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.
Tennyson is an unincorporated community in southeastern Coke County, Texas, United States. It lies along U.S. Route 277 southeast of the city of Robert Lee, the county seat of Coke County.

Named for Alfred, Lord Tennyson by an English settler who arrived in 1882, the community received a post office in 1892. Tennyson began to grow after the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway built through the area in 1910, but it began to shrink when its local cotton farming economy shrank in the 1920s.
