Not the biggest fan of cruise lines since they had a major role in spreading the chinese infection, and are itching to set sail again ASAP.

Gotta say, agree with the cruise lines that this was in no way their fault. The guy clearly stuck his head out of the window, flippantly held the child out of it, and lost his grip, resulting in the death of the infant.
Would not think that letting a child pound on glass, as he said was his intent, would be the brightest idea anyhow.
I certainly sympathize for the loss but I think its time to drop the lawsuit and move on - As far as this guy guy [and he was the grandmas drunk boyfriend, not her actual grandfather], he ought to just come clean and admit that he made a series of horrible judgements that resulted in a childs death instead of looking for excuses.
Tough to see how he can even live with himself, I would think that continuing to cast excuses and placing blame elsewhere will make his remorse, if in fact he even feels any, worse in the long term.
