I just checked my old Princess and Holland America cruise contracts and there is no warning in the contract about "NO guarantee about the seaworthiness of their ships". Only one other cruise line besides Celebrity has felt it necessary to include such a clause in their cruise contract. While all cruise lines have the same "boiler plate" statement about weather, wars, etc, Celebrity is almost the only cruise line to feel that such a clause is really necessary.
To some degree some of these clauses in the cruise contract are necessary, for example I would not want to sail into a hurricane because the cruise line felt that some passengers might be upset, but to use such a contract to hide behind because of a known design flaw to your particular ships is in my mind unconscionable. Just MHO.
