The Miami Herald reports that Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines have settled a lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Rather than have the case go to trial, the companies decided to settle. A federal judge granted preliminary approval of the settlement in July, which requires the involved companies to create a settlement fund worth between $7 million and $12.5 million, depending on how many claims are filed.

The Settlement requires the cruise lines to make payments of at least $300 to people who received robocalls between 2009 and 2014.  Click here to enter your phone number and see if you qualify for a check.  The Miami Herald article is here.
