My bad, I misunderstood what you both said originally.

No problem!
Because, after all, she was only 25 weeks. And then the next woman would come along and say, "But I'm only 26 weeks, and you let her board at 25 weeks" and so on. The same with any rule that has a cut-off line - many people think they can get around it because "I'm sooo close - can't you just let me slip by?"

I'm right behind you in G.
Imagine if DCL had let her "slip through" and something had happened while she was onboard. Not like the ships have a helicopter landing pad. That would mean a race to a port or meeting the Coast Guard for a mid-ocean transfer. She'd blame DCL for not following their policy.
Depending upon the Castaway Cay Club level, their on-line check-in would open at:
120 days (Platinum)
105 days (Gold)
90 days (Silver)
75 days (first time)
Before departure
Sorry, I don't buy the excuse that until they showed up at the port on departure day, she didn't know. As @ScoutN showed, it's on the contract. Which you have to mark Yes or No. And every adult has to sign that contract. Which now explains why she had the doctor's note.
Even at Platinum level check-in, you'd know you were pregnant - you'd be about 7 weeks. Furthermore, even if they were 1st timers, as long as they cancelled by 75 days prior to departure (which would be both their check-in and final payment due date), they'd get a full refund. Which is provided in documentation DCL sends you.

From my understanding you can hear him in the video yelling "Whats taking so long" when the port employees were trying to locate the luggage amongst thousands. Really quite shameful this whole thing, that family deserved nothing for how they treated the whole situation.
I thought her 15 minutes were up a long time ago...Her latest is, "Disney penalized me for being pregnant". Gee, if only there was a document you have to sign which states no one more than 24 weeks may sail.....

That is true but her parents are definitely old enough to think of these things.
Just completed check-in for our July cruise. For every passenger under the reservation, you must answer yay or nay if anyone will be 24 or more weeks pregnant at the time of the cruise. And if you answer yes, you're told they can't sail. So they lied on that form every person has to sign.
Before or on the DVC cruise?
