An expecting mom from St. Louis says shes unhappy with how the staff at Disney Cruise Line treated her family after they were denied entry to the ship.

Emily Jackson, who is 25 weeks pregnant with her third child, had flown with her family to Miami to board their cruise on the Disney Magic, due to leave on a 6-day trip to the Caribbean. But upon arriving at the port of departure, Jackson claims she was not allowed on the ship because she missed the pregnancy cutoff of 24 weeks, despite providing the staff with a note from her doctor.

Jackson, however, says she was more upset by subsequent treatment of her family, claiming that an armed officer was called in to escort her entire party which included multiple children out of the ticketing building while their luggage was removed from the ship.

"They had the guy with the gun following us. They had the K-9 unit," Jackson told Miamis WPLG. "So we then had to take both babies outside, wait almost two hours for our luggage, outside in the heat, and both babies are red-faced."

Jackson also shared footage of her familys ill-fated trip in a YouTube vlog post, in which she explained how the armed man arrived after her father asked the staff if they could "hurry up" with their luggage.

Jacksons vlog also captured footage of Disney Cruise Line employees appearing to ignore her familys concerns while sorting out the situation. In response to the incident, Disney Cruise Line has released the following statement to Fox News:

While we understand the guests disappointment with not being able to board the ship, for health and safety reasons, our policy does not allow women who have reached the 24th week of pregnancy to travel, which is consistent with other cruise lines and is noted on our website and in travel documents our guests receive before sailing," stated Cynthia Martinez, a spokesperson for Disney Cruise Line.

"The Miami-Dade Police Department is responsible for security at the port and handled the situation as they felt appropriate given the guests actions.

The cruise lines FAQ webpage also outlines the same policy concerning pregnant passengers. "Women who have entered their 24th week of pregnancy as of their embarkation date or who will enter their 24th week of pregnancy during the cruise will be refused passage due to safety concerns," the site reads. "Neither a doctors medical statement nor a waiver of liability will be accepted.

Jackson explained on YouTube that she was unaware of the cruises cut-off for expecting passengers, but understands their concerns. She then added that she was more upset with the staffs treatment of her party.

Forget the policy, OK? That is not my issue, she said in the post. What our problem was, was how they treated us after that point.

Im mad because of how they treated me and my children.

Disney Cruise Line has since offered to refund the Jackson familys fares. She tells WPLG their other vacation expenses were not covered.

Was he actually pointing the gun at them or did he just have a gun because he's a police officer?

Honestly this whole story sounds like one entitled woman trying to sidestep the rules and ruining it for her whole family. She knew there was a cutoff, which is why she got the doctor's note in the first place. Why would she do that otherwise? The last paragraph also sorta implies that she expected the cruise line to cover their non-ticket related expenses after they were denied entry.

I suspect the only reason armed anyone got involved was because she pulled a huge stink fit after being told no.

...or, someone else did:

I am, and still I ask the question

Prior Navy servicemember, who did surface vessel ATFP watchstanding, here; if it's anything like how it is with Navy ships, security needs to have a longarm because a sidearm doesn't have sufficient enough of an accurate firing range from the deck of the ship to the port (and vice-versa), in the event of a potential stand-off.

He's part of the port's security not the cruise ship's.

Thank you for pointing out my typo with using a semicolon instead of a colon. Much appreciated. Such grammar. Wow.

She spent hundreds of dollars for a handful of views?

Seriously when did that happen? The officer was armed it's not like he escorted them out at gun point. Stop being dramatic about it. It's pretty cut and dry it was done for attention for her YouTube channel and blog.
