Disney Cruises add pool lifeguards
Disney Cruise Line has quietly been adding lifeguards to its employee rolls following two recent deaths of children in unsupervised pools.
There were no lifeguards on duty when a six-year-old from Florida died on the Carnival Victory last month, or when a 13-year-old from Missouri drowned in four feet of water at Disney’s Pop Century Resort in March.
The pools did note that guests swim at their own risk.
Carnival today told TravelMole that it does not have plans to add lifeguards.
Like most land-based hotels and resorts, however, it conspicuously notes that there is no llifeguard on duty, and requires that parents be with their children in its pools at all times.
A parent and other family members were in fact at the pool on the Victory when the toddler died.
