Beware Of Razor Blades On Cruise

[wovenwonder]

How did you find the DIS Boards? Did you post here under a different name prior to your cruise? I would be happy to give you my email address [in fact is is in my profile]. Feel free to scan a copy of the letter from DCL and send it to me -- I would be very interested in seeing this. [since you offered to show it].

 

[AnnMorin]

Yeah I would like to see the letter too! (my email is in my profile)

Since I'm sure you saved it, How about just posting a picture of the razor blade?

Now I know why this all sounds familiar! For those of you familiar with the McKenzie brothers....remember when they returned a beer bottle with a mouse in it to try to get a free case of Molson?

I will be happy to send the letter from Disney and/or from myself to anyone that wants to see it. In fact, I would love everyone that doesn't believe me to email risk management so that Disney knows that I am telling so many people what happened. I bet they won't deny it.

I am really shocked by the treatment I am getting. I didn't post this to have to defend myself. It is what happened. I have a very sweet and honest 5 year old. FYI (although I am sure I will get beat up for this one from the prior mean comments - I am an attorney. If I had a way to sue Disney over what happened, I would. Luckily, my son was not injured. No damages - no lawsuit. All I can do is let other people know what happened.

ask PJ when I see him in two weeks, and see if he has another version of this "story".

While I believe the child might have had a razor blade, I DOUBT it came from the pudding. Were you by any chance carrying the same type of razors in your luggage.

We found a ladybug in our meal once and not only did the server, manager and cook come out to apologize ,they gave us a discount on our meal.

Disney is known for their customer service.

All the letter would show is that a report was made.

Really. How about

"intentional infliction of emotional distress"

"punitive damages"

"loss of conjugal relations"

You seem to equate damages with physical damages. If that were true, there would be no call for tort reform in this country.

You do know what a tort is, don't you counselor? (And no, it is not a dessert at Palo).

I don't know what happened to my last posting, but here it goes again. My son found a razor blade in his pudding when we were dining at Animator's Palate on our October 11-18 cruise!

Given the above...

And given that the individual who started this thread only has 8 posts here...

And given what I've seen on my 4 trips on DCL...

It smells an awful lot like BS in here right about now.

Are you an attorney? I don't think so. You still have to prove "emotional distress" "loss of conjugal relations". I didn't go crying to a shrink that my kid found a razor blade on the Disney cruise and neither did my son. Punitive damages requires a showing of malice. I know this was an accident. At least, I would hope so and proving otherwise would never happen. Enough free legal advice for you.

As a rather confused parent of a 5 YO soon to be onboard, Poopie - will you please look into this for us when you are on board and report back to us. TYIA. I have a hard time believing it. After all - if it really happened wouldn't DCL consider that it might have been a form of terrorism and do a complete investigation. Too much of the story doesn't add up. So, Poopie, please, please let us know what PJ says.

It's unfortuntate if in fact this "incident" did occur that you had to go through it; however, I think everyone is having a difficult time understanding Sarahs story since it keeps changing. If I found a razor in my 5 y.o.'s food, or in my food for that matter, you can believe that I would have very discreetly but forcefully demanded and explanation and I would not have rested until I received a satisfactory response from the highest ranking DCL member in charge on that ship. I certainly would not have debarked the ship without proof of the incident in written form signed by the person in charge. Most 5 y.o's know that they should not play with a blade of any kind, I can't imagine why he did not bring it to his mother's attention immediately when he found it in his pudding.

Sarah...again, what type of blade was it?

Travis and Jason:

By my count, they are all on this thread.

This story keeps growing. Not only do I think you're making up the story, now I think you're making up your profession. Heck, I'm not an attorney but I would have gone much further than that had that happened to my son.

Best comments so far that summarize what most of us have been saying.

But my husband sure is and I KNOW that he would not sit back quietly and say oh well no damages... he would be livid, demanding answers etc... you still have not told us how your son found the thing in his pudding or what type of blade it was. I would love to see the letter btw still waiting on that.

 

[KEH]

Jim, was that in your "Bass" beer?

 

[yourtravelpro]

I can almost see what happened. You are all sitting in the dining room and your son is playing with a razor blade that he found God knows where, ummm maybe even in your stateroom. Anyway, you see him with it and raise your voice in alarm, and say "Son, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT???"
He gets all scared and thinks quick and says...."Mommy, it was in my chocolate pudding". Our kids aren't as sweet and innocent as we would like to believe they are!

 

[jgalecpa]

KEH:

Yes, In fact I ordered a "Bass".

And when he brought it I said:

"Ahhhh, That's a Striped Bass"

If anyone doubts it, I have a report I filed with the cruise line!

Damn!

I can't believe the size of the fish you caught, er, um, found in your drink, Jim! You could have choked or something.

Too bad you wern't a lawyer.
