Disney Fantasy Vandalised

From: Cruise Industry News

"Disney Cruise Line's newbuild, Disney Fantasy, was the victim of significant vandalism while under construction at Meyer Werft, according to German media reports.

Various water valves were allegedly left open on Dec. 9, 2011, causing roughly one million euros in damage to approximately 40 cabins onboard the 128,000-ton vessel.

The damage will not affect the delivery date of the ship. Disney Cruise Line confirmed a float-out scheduled for Jan. 7,2012."

WOW! That's just crazy to me, it hasn't even been delivered and people are hating it? I don't see how "various" water valves could be left open by mistake though. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Had not heard anything about this. On a scale with "mistakenly left open" on one side and "Deliberate criminal mischief" on the other side, the scale would tip to the criminal mischief side. Strictly my own personal opinion.

Someone on Cruise Critic posted another article. It reads like it was Union Vandalism.

Wow! How crazy--I can't believe someone would vandalize the boat. I wonder how this won't delay the delivery of the ship? It sounds like there is a lot of stuff to fix.

Thanks for posting, Kristen. I just think it's sad that people would do something like this.

I had not seen that! WOW, it's hard to believe that some people are so filled with anger. Sad
Well, at least the Fantasy is safe in Port Canaveral now and on her official maiden voyage.
