The tourists said they contracted the virus while onboard and began feeling sick, according to the four lawsuits filed March 2 in federal court’s Orlando division that each seek unspecified damages. A Disney Cruise Line spokeswoman denied the lawsuits’ allegations. “We disagree with the allegations and will respond to them in court. No guests or Crew reported symptoms of Covid-19 while aboard the Disney Fantasy during the March 7, 2020, sailing,” Cynthia Martinez said in a statement. “Disney Cruise Line communicated health and safety information with guests in advance of and during their sailing and had numerous protocols in place at the time.”

The plaintiffs said normal activities remained open during the cruise and that passengers were often crowded together in small areas, despite the known risks.
Disney spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez said the company denies the allegations made in the lawsuits and said proper protocol was maintained based on the recommendations at the time.
“Our thoughts continue to be with those around the world who have been affected by COVID-19. We disagree with the allegations and will respond to them in court, Martinez said in an emailed statement.

Disney 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 passengers’ autoimmune conditions and compromised health.
