ORDER
THIS MATTER came before the Court on Defendant NCL (Bahamas) Ltd.’s motion to dismiss count II of the complaint for loss of consortium.1 (DE 6). Plaintiff has responded. (DE ll).2
The Eleventh Circuit has held that “neither the Jones Act nor general maritime law authorizes recovery for loss of society or consortium in personal injury cases.” Lollie v. Brown Marine Service, Inc., 995 F.2d 1565, 1565 (11th Cir.1993); see also In re Amtrak “Sunset Limited” Train Crash, 121 F.3d 1421, 1429 (11th Cir.1997). Plaintiff argues that the later decided Supreme Court case Atlantic Sounding Co. v. Townsend, 557 U.S. 404, 129 S.Ct. 2561, 174 L.Ed.2d 382 (2009), controls and holds that common law remedies extend to federal maritime .actions such as this one. Atlantic. Sounding, which held that an injured seaman may recover punitive damages for his employer’s willful failure to pay maintenance and cure, was based on the long-established tradition of punitive damages being an available remedy under general maritime law. Id. at 424, 129 S.Ct. 2561.
The Eleventh Circuit has not revisited the issue of loss of consortium claims under general maritime law since the ruling *1202in Atlantic Sounding. However, the Eighth Circuit has. In Doyle v. Graske, 579 F.3d 898, 906 (8th Cir.2009), the court found “that there is no well-established admiralty rule, as there is with respect to punitive damages, authorizing loss-of-consortium damages as a general matter.” Although the law may be “unsettled,”3 the Eleventh Circuit has not interpreted Atlantic Sounding to permit loss of consortium claims by the spouses of cruise ship passengers. Consequently, Defendant’s motion to dismiss (DE 6) is GRANTED and Plaintiff Liviu Zagrean’s loss of consortium claim is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
DONE AND ORDERED in chambers in Miami, Florida, this 11th day of January, 2016.
