India, April 17 -- Diana Sanders, a 45-year-old nurse from Vacaville, California, has won a lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Line with a massive payout of $300,000.

Sanders was on a trip on the Carnival Radiance cruise ship in April 2025, when, on April 5, she suffered an accident after having 14 tequila shots. She claims Carnival was negligent as they served 14 rounds of tequila shots to her, a few within an hour.
