The cruise operator has insisted that the Marco Polo ship - on which a man was killed on Friday - had undergone "stringent and rigorous surveys". His widow has blamed the "badly maintained" vessel for his death.
The wife of a man killed after a freak wave hit a cruise ship in the English Channel has criticised the "badly maintained" vessel.
Helen Swinstead speaking after the ship docked said: "I think it killed him almost instantly."With our insurance I think I'm entitled to £2,000, which won't even cover getting him home to Colchester.
"I think the shipping company should give some sort of compensation. The ship was badly maintained. Four windows blew.
"The crew have been fantastic. I think the ship is improperly maintained. It had come from Madeira before we got on it in January and they had bad storms then.
"There's so much paint on the outside you can't see the rust, they just slop some more on when they get to port."
A spokesman for the ship's operator said it would not comment on Mrs Swinstead's remarks.
