The family of a toddler who died after falling 11 storeys from an open window on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship has blamed the company for the accident.

The family claims that the one year old baby fell after her grandfather put her on the railing of a children's play area, believing there was glass there.

Royal Caribbean says they are deeply saddened but would not comment further to respect the family's privacy.

The family's lawyer said there should have been a warning sign on the window.

Chloe died from the fall on Sunday, while the ship was docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
