Alan Goldberg Sues Celebrity Cruises Over Wet Catamaran Deck Slip During Excursion

Alan Goldberg, identified in a law firm’s filing summary as a Maryland resident, has filed a maritime personal-injury lawsuit against Celebrity Cruises Inc. after a slip on a wet catamaran deck during a shore excursion on February 23, 2026. The complaint, lodged this week, asserts negligence tied to the wet condition of the vessel deck that Goldberg walked on during the excursion.

The filing summary that names Goldberg as plaintiff accompanies a complaint that alleges negligence by Celebrity Cruises Inc. The complaint centers on the wet condition of the catamaran deck during the shore excursion and seeks legal relief under maritime personal-injury law; the filing materials on record identify the incident date as February 23, 2026 and list Celebrity Cruises Inc. as the defendant.

According to the court filing materials, the slip occurred while Goldberg was on the catamaran participating in the shore excursion connected to a Celebrity Cruises voyage. The complaint documents a fall on a wet deck surface on the catamaran and frames the event as arising from conditions under the control or oversight of Celebrity Cruises Inc. The law firm’s summary filed with the complaint serves to identify Goldberg and to outline the negligence claim tied to that wet deck.

This lawsuit places a large cruise operator, Celebrity Cruises Inc., directly into litigation over a shore excursion safety lapse dated February 23, 2026. Goldberg’s decision to pursue a maritime personal-injury claim highlights the legal route available to passengers who suffer onboard or excursion-related incidents; the filing summary formally designates Goldberg as the plaintiff and Celebrity Cruises Inc. as the defendant in that action.

As of February 26, 2026, the complaint and law firm filing remain the primary public record of the incident; those documents identify the date of the slip, the vessel type as a catamaran, the shore excursion context, and the parties involved: plaintiff Alan Goldberg of Maryland and defendant Celebrity Cruises Inc. The litigation now proceeds on the negligence claim laid out in the complaint stemming from the wet-deck slip on February 23, 2026.
