In May 2016, 33 passengers from the Disney Magic were
stranded in Dublin. They were on a Disney-sponsored excursion that failed to
return to the dock in time because of heavy traffic. For decades, DCL has urged
guests not to book with third-party vendors, as there’s no guarantee the ship
will wait for you if you’re late. Disney Magic would have waited for the 33
guests, except Dublin is a tidal port. Its operation is determined by the rise
and fall of tides in Dublin Bay. The ship had to leave to avoid being stranded –
high and dry – for at least 16 hours. When the 33 guests finally arrived at the
pier, the ship was gone, but a cast member waited for them. They were treated
to a pub dinner, then ferried overnight to Liverpool, which was the Disney
Magic’s next port. Disney cruises may be pricey, but they will take good care of
you.
