Too pregnant to cruise?
When do you become too pregnant to cruise?
That issue is being debated after a Washington, DC woman was left stranded at the dock in Port Canaveral when Carnival turned her away.
Huey Tsao is 26 weeks pregnant.
TV station WFTV in Orlando said that when she booked her ticket, Carnival’s brochures said the cutoff was 27 weeks. But unbeknownst to her the line quietly changed its threshold earlier this year to 24 weeks.
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the line changed its policy in January, and the new cutoff has been posted online. The policy cites the risk of premature labor.
Other cruise lines have also been switching to a 24-week cutoff.
