Disney Wish. MAN OVERBOARD!

Wow, $150 OBC seems more than fair. So glad it wasn't a person found, whether from the ship or not!

How in the world could people not respond to a general alarm? It's not like they were sleeping through it. That is crazy and dangerous.

Im so glad it was a false alarm but DCL is all over the place with compensation for ship issues- A false alarm gets $150 but when the Magic had the leak in the atrium they were given nothing?? The Magic Atrium Leak lasted longer and impacted more of the sailing... If it had been a MOB I assume nothing would have been given. Strange choice.

Luckily it was only a big piece of debris.

Probably because the alarm scared people and the leak was a maintenance issue that was an annoyance.

Did the leak make it impossible to get across the ship, or to enter any areas? My understanding is that it was possible to walk around the area that was blocked off.

The safety alert, however, did make it impossible to sleep or attend activities for some time. It also apparently scared some young passengers far more than a leak would have.

I hope that anyone who didn't show up or showed up extremely late to their muster stations is ineligible for the credit. I doubt that will happen, but it should.

I wonder who reported the MOB l

You could not cross the ship on that floor. You had to go up or down a floor to cross. I do think this is interesting for DCL to set this precedent. I understand this could be frightening but if it had been a missing person do we think DCL would be offering a credit? We have been on a sailing where sadly a passenger passed away delaying our return to PC and people missed flights, my son had hard time as they asked everyone to leave their rooms but the ship was packed and everyone was everywhere (he is autistic). We did not receive nor did I expect compensation.

Nobody. It's an automatic sensor.

I would never, ever ignore an alarm on a ship and I wouldn't recommend that anyone else do so, either.

But with that said...

Have you ever lived in a college dorm or an apartment? People do stupid things to set off the fire alarms fairly often. After the first few, you just ignore it. Get out of bed at 2am and go out in the cold because someone burned popcorn? No, thanks! I'll just put the pillow over my head to muffle the alarm sound and wait it out. I'd be that some people on the cruise had the same idea, unfortunately.

An automatic sensor picked up debris in the ocean?
