Sounds like you need a different boyfriendBF says to me, "did you see where Disney kicked someone off their ship because she was pregnant", why he did this is beyond me he knows I am a big fan of Disney, I said did you see the whole report? he said yeah they kicked her off the ship, I said no they did not they did not allow her to board. So I go through the whole online check-in you have to check that no one in your party will be 24 weeks pregnant, it's in your cruise documents that you receive from Disney in the mail, it's on their website etc. He said why did they have a armed guard, I said I don't know I have no idea how crazy this woman was acting, but that armed guard does not appear to be a Disney employee, he must be some one with the port authority. He said it was an armed guard a child was there, I said BF listen to me, you are not going to win this argument with me, the woman was in the wrong and it was not Disney's fault that she apparently didn't want to abide by the rules. She has had her 15 minutes of fame by trashing Disney so there you go. He said you will defend Disney won't you. I said yes I will when they did what they were suppose to do and this woman is just trying to get sympathy from the public because the big bad Disney did her wrong, they didn't do her wrong, she was trying to slip by.
Simple. No matter how extensive the medical services available...ANYWHERE.....there are situations where the needed treatment isn't available. A ship could have a full hospital, and still not have what was needed for a specific emergency.
The difference is, when it's a pregnant woman with a viable fetus who has an emergency on a ship, you have TWO potential fatalities, not just one.
Sure, anyone can suffer a life threatening emergency while onboard, but pregnancy is an INHERENT RISK to the mother and baby literally every time. ANY pregnancy can spontaneously turn into a life or death situation.
The cruise line is good with pregnancy until the 24th week (viability) because if something happens to the baby (or mom), it's ONE life they are dealing with up to that point. They simply do not want to take on the risk of two lives.
In case you are wondering how to follow Emily and gang on YouTube, her YouTube channel is "The Jackson Hive". Very clever name, imho. Her channel currently has around 9,800 subscribers, which is about one tenth of what Flippin Katie has. Flippin Katie and her family have several videos on her channel from a past DCL cruise. I haven't watched any of Emily's videos but my daughter is a big fan of Flippin Katie's, so I've seen some of those.
MUN
PS, I would be interested in knowing if "The Jackson Hive" channel has seen a growth in subscription numbers since her recent DCL incident.
I tried watching one, but I lost interest very quickly. I think she puts out a video every day. I wonder how much she makes doing this? I also who watches her videos and why. But, I'm getting off-topic.The first time I looked at her channel she was at 8.8 this has gotten her at least a 1000 viewers. I do admit I watched the one video but didn’t subscribe. She got what she wanted more viewers.
We have a topic any more?I tried watching one, but I lost interest very quickly. I think she puts out a video every day. I wonder how much she makes doing this? I also who watches her videos and why. But, I'm getting off-topic.
You missed the point. There are other health conditions that are not forbidden that are greater risk.

He needs to understand that this isn't DISNEY. This is a *port*. Ports have security. They are a manned border point. There are armed government agents there to protect people from other people.
This has NOTHING to do with defending Disney. It has to do with the defense of a port. If she KNEW she was in the wrong (she brought the doctor's note), got it wrong (thought she could board at 25 weeks, when she couldn't have borded once she hit 23 full weeks because that would be entering the 24th week), and still went that ballistic, *who knows what else she might do*?
Don't forget no smoking and no booze.Pregnant women are told not to go in hot tubs, eat sushi, soft cheese or deli meat.
Exactly! I tried watching the video where Emily explains what happened. I enjoyed the part of them driving to PC with the ship in the background, but I had some minor anxiety issues earlier when I realized they were all flying in the morning of the cruise. I couldn't stand watching much of here whine about getting "kicked off the ship". I won't being subscribing to her channel, I'll stick to keeping up with the Kardashians!My friend's teen put years of his videos of garbage trucks onto a monetized youtube again, and in less than 6 months got a check for $700 (and that's before she told us all about the channel!). Who knows why people watch what they watch?
My cousin was born in the mid 80s at 26 weeks. She was 2 pounds, 2 ounces. She was a total miracle. I believe she was the smallest baby that had ever survived at the hospital she was born at at that point.28 weeks in 1986 likely wouldn't have been viable if she'd gone into labor.
That would affect both a mother AND an infant? Unlikely.
And again, you're talking decades ago. What was impossible then is possible now. A history of strokes then might have had a much different outcome than the same history now.
Ok, if that's your argument in favor of allowing someone to cruise when 24+ weeks pregnant, you are entitled to that opinion. I can see why cruise lines don't allow it.
Which cruise was it? Do we know?Has anyone looked on the facebook cruise meet for that cruise to see if there are witness accounts or videos yet?
Which cruise was it? Do we know?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is correct. The initial news report was from the 28th from Local10, it wasn't until a few days later that it gained traction nationally. So it couldn't have been after that and it seems unlikely that it was the 3/23 sailing and it took 5 days for the local news to cover it. March 28th is the only possibility IMO.I *think* it was the 4 night on the Magic out of Miami that embarked on March 28.
