- Title
SPECTOR v. NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE.
- Authors
Buffalow, Gregory C.
- Abstract
The article discusses a case of Spector v. Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd. In that case the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 may have some application to foreign-flag cruise ships in United States waters. The plurality decision was based, in part, on the finding that cruise ships offer public accommodations and services to in excess of 7 million United States residents annually. The Court observed that large numbers of disabled individuals, many of whom have mobility impairments that make other kinds of vacation travel difficult, take advantage of these cruises or would like to do so. The considerable market of U.S. resident cruise passengers apparently merited a "strong interest" of the United States.
