Disney Under Fire After Leaving Cruise Staff in Bahamas

[mfcorey1]

Disney Cruise Line is defending its decision to leave crew members on Castaway Cay, its private island in the Bahamas, to ride out Hurricane Dorian.


All staffers are safe after spending Sunday in a specially-built shelter, specifically designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Dorian is a Category 5 storm with 185 mile-per-hour winds that devastated the northwest Bahama islands.

Disney noted that Castaway Cay is located 45 miles south of the most significant portion of the storm. Still, the company came under fire after the sister of one of the employees tweeted out her concerns.
“My sister is stuck in the middle of a Cat 5 hurricane. We were told they would evacuate and they didn’t. Left them behind!! Why??,” Meg Green posted on Twitter. She has since deleted her account but not before writing in another tweet: “Remember that time [Disney Cruises] left 97 employees on a tiny island in a Category 5 hurricane? I do.”

1. Stupid

This is really stupid of DCL. There is no
fucking way I would want to be left on
a tiny sliver of sand anywhere near a CAT 5.

The storm could still change direction.

4. Yesterday's article said it was good to Cat 4

It wasn’t a typo as it said it several times. Wonder if they misquoted or they changed it to cover their asses.
