Two food poisoning outbreaks on Disney cruises within one week


http://archives.cnn.com/2002/TRAVEL/11/26/disney.sick.cruise/index.html

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Disney Cruise Lines said Tuesday at least 85 people reported flu-like symptoms four days into a seven-day cruise to the western Caribbean aboard the cruise ship Magic.

It was on the same ship last week that 275 passengers and crew members became sick.

2. They buried several crew members at sea. Late at night. I was
on deck. This is a dramatization and may contain time compression and outright fucking lies, you figure it out.

24. I have a rule when I read DU
No drinking liquids at the computer. DUers are far too witty and I've messed up one too many keyboards over it.

12. So Mickey sued Minnie for divorce.
The judge says "I understand your grounds are that Minnie is insane."

"No", he replies, "I said she's fucking Goofy."

10. The guy that turned the Cruise line around
Matt Ouimet, was given the job as president of Disneyland. He gave the Disneyland resort a wonderful 50th Anniversary celebration. Now he's going to be working for a hotel, resort company and is no longer with Disney.

All of this just to say that it doesn't surprise me that the Cruise line is suffering from such incidents again. The guy that helped make the line a success and saved it is no longer with them. :(

16. the chef on one of the ships was reportedly on the phone
with Robert Iger, explaining that the oysters were "off." But Iger shouted, "Serve them anyway!" and slammed down the phone.

18. People, people, people! Why all the complaints?
Clearly Disney is offering a weight loss program aboard its luxury cruises!

19. This story is 4 years old? WTF?
And FYI, I believe Holland America has the most CDC reported incidents of onboard flu, due to the fact that their clients are older than average.

Cruise ships, like hotels and elementary schools and all other public places are bound to have their fair share of Norwalk outbreaks.

I know Disney is the bad guy, but do we need to rehash 4 year old cruise ship news?

21. You didn't quite get this one, did you?
I don't know if the OP meant this, but the thread has become.............The Path to Lies.........

See?

Yeah, it's four years old. 9/11 is five years old and this ABC/Disney lie fest is still a lie fest even if the information is 5 years old or in the case of the Disney cruise four years old.
