Child Attacked by Anteater During Disney Cruise Line Offshore Excursion; Family Now Seeking Damages

According to ClickOrlando, a child was reportedly attacked by an anteater during a Disney Cruise Line offshore excursion in October 2018. After returning from the excursion, which took place in Cartagena, Colombia, the boy and his family visited the medical facility aboard the Disney Wonder.

The child suffered a “a severe mycobacteria infection,” and his family is now claiming that the onboard medicinal facility did not give him proper treatment.

Allegedly, the onboard medical providers, Magical Cruise Company and Vanter Cruise Health Services, did not give the boy the level of care he needed after failing to detect and diagnose the infection.

The family is now “seeking damages in excess of $15,000 and a jury trial.”
