Area fetus sinks plans for cruise
You know all the fine print “Terms and Conditions” that you’re supposed to read before you click the “purchase” button? It turns out that they often include things like “you may not travel on this cruise ship if you are 27 or more weeks pregnant.” My wife, fine-print-reader that she is, luckily noticed this before I managed to click the purchase button. After a little bit of searching, it seems that ALL the cruise lines have a similar restriction, even if one is only cruising for three nights and traveling no further than 100 nautical miles from one’s home and OBGYN. Disney, an allegedly child-oriented enterprise, is the most restrictive in this regard.
Crestfallen, we traded our cruise ship for a gondola and our blue sea for a water-filled stage by booking three nights at Venetian and two tickets to O, the Cirque du Soleil show at Bellagio. We’re off to Las Vegas, nearly child-free. We’ll show #2 that we will not be denied our vacation, fine print or no fine print.
Props to Grandma D. for watching Anna for the three days.

Of course - they do not want to jeopardize their future customers. And I thought “snaps” was the cool way to say “props.” Am i behind…again? So much for watching Queer Eye as a pop culture cram course.
