George Smith of Greenwich was aboard a Royal Caribbean ship when he vanished somewhere between Greece and Turkey. His body never has been found.
The FBI has investigated Smith's disappearance, but no one has been charged.
George Smith's family is challenging a nearly $1.1 million settlement Hagel Smith reached with Royal Caribbean.
Smith's disappearance followed a night of heavy drinking. The cruise line said his wife was found passed out on a floor far from their cabin.
