This is perfectly reasonable. Preterm labor and delivery facilities and Newborn Intensive Care is not available on a cruise ship. Should this pregnant woman deliver a premature infant, the ship would be unable to provide the highly specialized care a 24 week infant requires.

Read the rules. Don’t ignore them and then video and post how badly you were treated.

It’s her own fault for not reading the conditions when she booked the cruise

this has been cruise policy for 20 years. I was pregnant with twins and they were clear about no passage after20 weeks

I booked millions of dollars of cruises. Most any cruise line will not allow preg women 24 weeks or great sail. Also in the T&C about infants having to be a certain age to sail. The medical staff can do only so much. No one ever reads the T&C.

I used to bring a letter from my care provider stating I was so many weeks when I traveled because I always got so HUGE so fast I knew they'd think I was further along. Yup, had to show it every time.

It is what it is, they reimbursed her for the cruise.

What? Family cruise? Kids are our business?

It is for her safety and the safety of her unborn child. If something happened while cruising, the ship is not equipped to treat or sustain the life of a 25week preemie, or a mother that may be hemorrhaging, or labor and delivery.

I see no problem in being proactive to insure safety to both the mother and the child. Not like there is a hospital unit on a cruise ship.

This is due to safety with seasickness and salt water can deplete nourishment from a pregnant woman’s body. Preganant women aren’t allowed to fly at some point. I forgot the exact threshhold.

It has to do w/the limited ability of a ship's infirmary if a woman goes into premature labor. Every cruiseline has its policy clearly stated on its website. During 1st & 2nd trimester, going on a cruise can be okay for most -- just avoid soft cheese, drink plenty of water, etc

These vessels are like floating cities with everything available on board. She would probably be safer on the ship then her home, and she was only marginally off the 24 week limit.

That’s not true. It is for her safety and the safety of her unborn child. If something happened while cruising, the ship is not equipped to treat or sustain the life of a 25week preemie, or a mother that may be hemorrhaging, or labor and delivery.
