I find it odd that someone joined the Dis to make this her first post?

Last month, someone joined the Dis and her first post was a scathing complaint about a cruise she had just taken. I remember that I found it odd that all of the first letters of each word were capitalized. This was one of her posts:




The first post in this thread has the same weird pattern (first letter of each sentence capitalized). Why is that?

If the OP is not the same person as the one I quoted, then my most sincere apologies, but I find this whole thing strange.

Hey there Andrew..I too find this very odd I remember the above post.Are you going to join us for the Turkey cruise 09?

Something just doesn't seem right...

My Family (all 15) Was Taking The 3 Day Cruise Leaving Port On Dec
18. This Cruise Was A Celebration For My 27 Year Old Daughter Who Has Been Fighting Lymphoma Since 2007. After Chemo Didn't Work She Was Forced To Have A Stem Cell Transplant In June Of This Year. On Dec. 11 She Was Hospitalized And On Dec 15 She Was Told Her Lymphoma Had Relapsed..........

Meanwhile, my 4 year-old daughter just shy of a year out of chemo for her neuroblastoma had a wonderful time. The Disney CM's could not have more accommodating. Then again we were prepared for Murphy's appearance. Learn your lessons take a little responsibility and keep moving forward in life.

If this story is true...

To the OP ~
I'm truly sorry to hear about your daughter and I hope she's cancer-free and feeling better soon.

I honestly think it's very generous of DCL to allow your daughter, her husband, and little boy to roll their trip over to next year. Without trip insurance, Disney certainly isn't required to do this for the family. As you stated, the ARE a company with a goal of making money, and they're making an exception which will cost them a substantial amount since with such late notice, they will be sailing with an empty cabin.

For you to be angry that DCL won't allow the rest of the family to roll their cruise over as well... I just feel this is misplaced anger on your part. Even IF your daughter was ineligible for trip insurance as some here have speculated, the rest of your party was (most likely) eligible. I assume that your daughter's family was booked into their own stateroom on their own reservation, and the other 12 of you were booked into 3+ other staterooms on separate reservations. Why was insurance not purchased for the others? You can't expect us to believe that the thought never once crossed any of your minds that your daughter may be too sick to travel and would have to miss the cruise. With an illness so recent, I think you knew you were taking a gamble booking the cruise. The cancellation guidelines are very clear and were provided to you when you booked, so I think you should INSTEAD be angry with yourself for not purchasing the much-needed trip insurance.

IMO, DCL has done nothing wrong in their decision not to allow your large party of 15 to move their cruise to the following year with less than a week notice. I'm sorry you don't agree.

 

[lbgraves]

Actually, with most trip insurance programs out there even if the rest of the family had purchased trip insurance, the policy would NOT have covered them cancelling the trip due to their DD's disease since it would have been a pre-existing condition. Unfortunantly most people do not realize this is how things work. Someone on our last cruise had to cancel less than a week before the EB Repo because of her DH's failing health due to cancer. He was never booked on the cruise but her claim was denied by the carrier because it was a preexisting condition that was the reason for her canceling the cruise. That clause is not limited to just the people who are booked to go on the cruise. If nothing else is accomplished by this thread, hopefully someone who needs to be careful about purchasing travel insurance due to a condition of someone in their family will know what they need to look for to be covered in this type of circumstance.

That is wonderful that your DD4 had such a great time. I hope she is feeling better.

 

[BaxFam]

Sorry to hear what happened to you folks. The previous posters are all correct about purchasing trip insurance, especially when possible health issues are involved.

The important thing here is the health of your daughter - not the fact you couldn't take the cruise when you planned or even lost some money because of it. That can be replaced.

Plan another cruise when she is feeling better, make sure you all have trip insurance, and all of you have the most wonderful vacation ever!

Best wishes.

Sorry for your situation, most importantly, I wanted to send prayers and positive thoughts to your daughter and family.

 

[Laneychris]

Hope your ddaughter gets better!

After all that and with all the responses, she has not acknowledged the feedback nor has she posted anywhere else......That was her only post!
