DISNEY/ABC is filth. Consumer affairs link to Disney Cruise complaints
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 10:00 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
These complaints include food poisoning, theft and more. DU-ers should post stories like this about filthy Disney every day until the end of time.

I saved for 7 years for this trip for the 6 of us, and am down $12,000.00 for the entire trip, not including all the expense of health care and the pain and suffering which can have not price put on it. The whole trip was ruined and my husband was affected, as well as my daughter and I. I still have pain and gastroenteritis with certain foods, so I lived on gingerale and crackers for the first week home

The shortened version of the story is that Disney has told me to file insurance. I feel they are responsible since I did NOT lose it, but someone on their crew stole it. They just turn a deaf ear. I should be thankful they didn't lose me. Everyone should beware all of the cruise lines. It seems thaty are not very reputable in the loss area.

Greed was not one of the virtues that Walt Disney professed. I think that Walt would find this sort of service an unconscionable way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth. Shame on you! Your “legendary customer service” has cost Disney a large ticket cruise passenger. We have booked on one of your competitors and are looking forward to a wonderful trip. We will cruise the Eastern Caribbean and enjoy 3 days in the Orlando area. However, the land portion of our trip has changed. It will not longer include the “Magic Kingdom”, rather, Universal Studios and SeaWorld will receive our dollars.

2. These problems are common amongst all cruise ships.
The ships are not registered in the US, they spend most of the cruise in the lawless land of international waters and nearly all the crew are considered independent contractors. When things do go wrong you have little to no laws to protect you. Though most make some attempt to make it right because they so heavily rely on PR to fill the ships.
