A New York City cruise chef was maimed for life when he was “ordered” to help dock the vessel, according to a lawsuit.
Leonel B. Pena, 73, lost three fingers on his left hand in a gruesome Nov. 11 incident aboard the Majestic Princess that has now robbed him of his livelihood, he alleged in court papers.
The boat suddenly moved as he was trying to tie it down, tightening the rope and slicing off his pinky, ring and middle fingers, according to the suit. “I was asked to help assist in docking the boat. It wasn’t part of my job. … They tell me to do something and I do it,” Pena said through a translator.
