Maritime Commission (Commission) by Lisa

[[Page 10173]]

Anne Cornell and G. Ware Cornell, Jr., hereinafter ``Complainants,'' 
against Princess Cruise Lines, Ltd (Corp), Carnival plc, and Carnival 
Corporation hereinafter ``Respondents.'' Complainant alleges that: 
Respondent Princess Cruise Lines, Ltd (Corp) ``is a California 
corporation which operates pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984 as a 
common carrier for hire of passengers from ports in the United 
States;'' Respondent Carnival plc ``is a corporation established under 
the laws of the United Kingdom which does business under the names of 
Cunard Line, P&O Cruises, and P&O Cruises Australia as a common carrier 
for hire of passengers from ports in the United States;'' and 
Respondent Carnival Corporation ``is the parent corporation of Princes 
and Carnival plc as well as other cruise lines which operate as common 
carriers for hire from ports in the United States.''
    Complainant alleges that Respondents, by banning Complainants from 
traveling on ships operated by Princess and Carnival plc and failing to 
refund a deposit, violated 46 U.S.C. 41104(10) which provides that 
``[a] common carrier, either alone or in conjunction with any other 
person, directly or indirectly, may not * * * (10) unreasonably refuse 
to deal or negotiate * * *''
    Complainant requests that ``the Commission issue appropriate 
relief, including, but not limited to, entry of a final order enjoining 
the refusal to deal policy as to Lisa Cornell and Ware Cornell, entry 
of final order restoring all economic losses as set forth herein in the 
amount of $33,1000.00 and a award of fees and costs of action.''
    The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's 
Electronic Reading Room at www.fmc.gov.
    This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of Administrative 
Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding officer in this 
proceeding shall be issued by February 10, 2014 and the final decision 
of the Commission shall be issued by June 9, 2014.

Karen V. Gregory,
