Family left devastated after they are kicked off their dream Disney cruise by an armed guard because 22-year-old mother-of-two is PREGNANT

  • YouTuber Emily Jackson, 22, was denied entry on a Disney cruise because she was pregnant
  • Disney cruises do not allow expecting mothers past 24 weeks on board
  • Jackson was not aware of the policy and is 25 weeks along  
  • She had a doctor's note that said she was safe to travel
  • Two security guards, a canine team and an officer with an AR-15 rifle escorted her out into the Miami heat after refusing to let her board
  • She along with nine family members had traveled from St. Louis for the cruise

One woman's dream of a Disney vacation was crushed when she was denied entry on a cruise because she was pregnant and was subsequently escorted off by a guard bearing an AR-15 rifle.

YouTuber Emily Jackson, 22, is a mother-of-two with a baby boy on the way.

Jackson, along with her husband, children, parents, and siblings flew from St. Louis to Miami to embark on a picture-perfect vacation.

The 10-member strong family even wore matching T-shirts that said 'Keep calm and enjoy your Disney vacation'.

However what ensued was the opposite of calm when. Disney cruise personnel refused Jackson entry on the cruise because she was 25 weeks pregnant, one week past policy limit.

There are a things in life to be "devastated" about. THIS isn't one of them. And, maybe READ THE RULES?

Are the rules for the 24 week pregnancy in large print or hidden in the fine print. Makes a difference.

I'd be pissed.

I mean i do think you would want to at least ask the question before booking your trip? She did get a doctor's note though, so she was proactive in that way. At 22, I doubt i would have read all the fine print.

I do believe that if you are traveling while pregnant you should do research to see if there is some rule about risk of traveling while pregnant. Yes she had a doctors permission and may be in perfect health, but cruise ships are not equipped for premature births.

I missed the part about being 22. I would say a travel agent should have caught that, but most young people just book threw the internet.

This is her 3rd kid. Not her first rodeo. Also she's a professional YouTuber, so maybe a bit of drama is good for her. Yeah armed security guards carry weapons. Doesn't mean they pointed them at her head. And, so should they just ignore their rules for her?

The vlogger took to her channel to share the horror that ensued.

Horror, devastation, distraught, etc. Yeah, it may be annoying, inconvenient, a pain, etc but come on. And, she didnt' purchase the tickets, fine. But WHO's responsibility is it to know if you can board as a pregnant woman?

The entire family did not have to get off and they caused a ruckus, no sympathy here.

Oh, good grief!

Read the fine print, for goodness sake.

(Oh, and maybe, being pregnant with your 3rd child, at 22, is not such a good thing.)

JMHO.

For the trip, I'd been 23 weeks pregnant.

What are they going to do? Preform an ultrasound?

Babies do come early due sudden health risk for the mother or baby. Cruise ships are not equipped for a nicu, and will have to have a helicopter fly in, so many risk. My 1st grandchild was born early.

I checked their website and yes it is listed that a woman who is 24 weeks will be refused and a doctors waiver will not be accepted.
