- **Lawsuit:** Filed within one year after the injury, illness, or death.
- **Service:** Served within 120 days after filing.
- **Court:** For a U.S. cruise, one that embarks, disembarks, or calls at a U.S. port: the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. If the federal court lacks jurisdiction, a state court in Miami-Dade County.
