Read full article: Disney cruise passengers sue, claiming they caught coronavirus on board ship last yearDisney Cruise Line faces four lawsuits filed this past week by passengers from Arizona and Utah who claim they contracted COVID-19 during a cruise at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, News 6 partner Florida Today reports. The plaintiffs in the case allege that Disney would not allow them to cancel or reschedule their cruise on the Fantasy cruise ship scheduled from March 7-14 last year despite concerns about the coronavirus and the passengersโ autoimmune conditions and compromised health. AdThe plaintiffs said normal activities remained open during the cruise and that passengers were often crowded together in small areas, despite the known risks. โNo guests or crew reported symptoms of COVID-19 while aboard the Disney Fantasy during the March 7, 2020, sailing. In the lawsuits, the plaintiffsโ argument outlines how a previous coronavirus outbreak on a Carnival cruise ship infected 700 passengers, causing the ship to anchor at a Japanese harbor for two weeks.
