Solicitor's daughter tells court she 'didn't want to remember' cruise ship experience

The woman said she heard her mother tell a receptionist: “If we don’t move room you will have to deal with, like, a suicide.”

The daughter of a solicitor who is suing a travel agent for alleged false imprisonment while on a cruise ship has said the 2015 holiday was an experience she “didn’t want to remember”.

Caitlin Fanning was 13 when she and her mother Caroline Fanning were disembarked from Royal Caribbean’s ‘Oasis of the Seas’ after Caroline made what she said was a “sarcastic” comment about suicide during a phone call with the ship’s receptionist on the first night of their trip.
