Today, our office manager, Betsy Benitez, who has been an integral part of this firm since 2001, suggested that we begin to use Chat GPT. I had never used this technology before and was a bit skeptical about integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into our law practice. So I typed CruiseLawNews into chatGPT and asked
This weekend was the ten year anniversary of this blog. The first day of publishing Cruise Law News was September 15, 2009.
Over the last decade, I’ve published 3,075 articles about cruise ship related issues. An average of over two million people read around seven million pages of Cruise Law News a year. It is

Today, I was picked by Go Port Canaveral (a publication of Florida Cruise Ports, Inc.) as one of "Our Favorite Cruise Blogs."
Admittedly, I am (very) critical of the cruise industry and, as such, I assumed that automatically disqualified me from a cruise sponsored competition.
But lo and behold Cruise Law News was

The institute received more than 2,000 nominations for the "Best Legal Blog Contest." It then narrowed the field to 250 blogs which it is calling the "most exciting, entertaining, and informative legal blogs online today."
Cruise Law News was placed in the
This morning Cruise Law News hit a milestone when the 150,000th person “liked” our Facebook page.
The motto of this blog is “everything the cruise lines don’t want you to know.” Our main goal is to educate the public about dangers on cruise ships and in ports of call that the cruise industry would
People complain that I write only negative stories about the cruise lines. Crime, fires, overboard passengers, greedy cruise executives, mistreatment of crew members, blah, blah, blah, does it ever end they ask?
It’s a good question, I suppose. Lots of things go wrong during cruises. I have an endless source of materials for stories to
Today I was excited to read that Cruise Law News has been picked as one of the "12 Awesome Law Blogs Of 2014" by the premier law publication Above the Law.
Admittedly, we were the twelfth and last pick, but beggars can’t be choosers. Here the write up:
No attorney’s passion shows
I returned from a two week vacation last week to find that our blog was picked as one of the top 20 cruise blogs by readers of USA TODAY.
The newspaper and "10 Best" are now asking the public to pick the best blog out of this group. At the end of the voting on
What are the top law blogs? I suppose it depends on who you ask. Everyone has an opinion, at least lawyers who have blogs do.
I’m listing the supposedly most popular law blogs based on supposedly objective criteria, using the Alexa ranking system which ranks blogs and websites based primarily on popularity. How many people
Two years ago, I published my personal choice of what I considered to be the top cruise blogs. It was mostly a subjective choice.
This year, I started assembling the top blogs again. But I decided to rank the "top" blogs with some type of objective criteria. I chose to use the Alexa ranking
This week marks the 4th year anniversary of starting my blog Cruise Law News (CLN).
I’ve written 1,585 articles, which averages out to be over one per day. We have received over 4,700 comments to our articles, mostly from U.S. readers. Google Analytics tell us over 1,000,000 different people have read over 3,500,000 pages of
Today marks the 4th year Cruise Law has been on Twitter. Check out our page here. Over 10,000 tweets and over 10,000 followers later, it has been a fun four years. Tweeting is just micro-blogging in 140 characters and led me to create this blog Cruise Law News.
If you are not on Twitter
The following is a guest blog by fellow lawyer Charles Gourlis who works on cases with us against the cruise lines. Charlie is a bright, hard working fellow. We are glad to have him on our side.
First of all, let me extend a heartfelt thank you to Jim Walker for allowing me to guest
According to AVVO which ranks the popularity of law blogs, Cruise Law News (CLN) is currently the 9th most popular law blog in the U.S. You can read the list (updated daily) here. The list does not pretend to be a compilation of the "best" blogs. It is based primarily on the number of readers
I’m not always right.
Despite the ego that I have grown to compete in the dog-eat-dog world of cruise line litigation against Fortune 200 cruise corporations in Miami Florida, every day I realize that I, too, make errors of perception, of judgment, and of acknowledgment.
Last year, I wrote an article about what I thought
A couple of my friends on Twitter asked me about a maritime law blog in Miami which tweets under the Twitter handle @cruiseshiplaw. They were confused whether it was my blog, because it looked strikingly just like mine and had a similar name.
I clicked on the blog and, yes, it looks pretty much just
