Magic cruise cancelled

[CruellaDuVille]

At least that's what CNN just said. Ohhhh, how does one console the kids? Good for Disney though. They're doing the right thing.

They got a lot of good publicity about the health ratings of the ships.

It was just on CNN.

Uh, I'm not sure I believe that's true, even if CNN says that.

HERE is what CNN has on their website:

http://www.cnn.com/2002/TRAVEL/11/22/disney.sick.ship/index.html

The cruise is NOT cancelled. Guests have the option of CANCELLING themselves for a refund.

The HOLLAND AMERICA cruise is cancelled and will sail again on 12/1.

Yep,Lou Dobbs said it clearly, that next weeks cruise is cancelled.

Folks, DCL is not going to CANCEL this sailing at midnight the night before it is supposed to sail!

EVERY statement issued by DCL today, including the one that is on CNN's website, stated that they WILL sail tomorrow, although they will be late. DCL had special phone lines set up today to answer all the questions. Why would they suddenly change their minds in the middle of the night?

Reporters can be wrong and I believe that is the case here.

I just caught it on CNN here in Seattle ...they said Nothing abount any cancels.

As of 12:52am EST, CNN just said that Disney was NOT cancelling any cruises yet, but that the ship was getting a good scrubbing. Pretty much what has been said already.

I guess there is a chance that they could have to cancel tomorrow. That would be pretty sad for all those folks sailing tomorrow.

OK, I'm the one who said that they said it was cancelled. They DID say that, I was not hallucinating. It was regular CNN.

Now, I just watched Headline News CNN and they said that the cruise was NOT cancelled.

So much for CNN. The right arm doesn't even know what the left arm is reporting.

Okay, good, now that we have established that CNN made a major mistake here, I'm going to close the thread so as not to alarm anyone.

Thanks for the update, Cruella.
