I’d like to see the videos of grandpa’s day. I wonder if alcohol played a part in his fatally poor judgment.

Kids area is deck 12 with no windows. This is deck 11 the pool deck area next to the bar where it happened. Get on the ship yourself and you will see the grandfather messed up.

Adult supervision...

From the photos it seems the grandfather found the only open window. It’s really difficult to mistake, in my experience, a thick pane of safety glass for an open window.

In any case, 50/50 % blame. Parents should had kept watch on toddler

And why are there so many lawyers?

She should be charged for child neglect as well. Any sane parent should first see their child's play area for any potential risks. Am not giving excuse for the cruise company. They also face their own.
