Christmas on board a cruise ship turns out to be a disappointment for one family when a toy bought as a gift for their child was confiscated by security.. The incident caused heated discussion among passengers and on social networks. Lad Bible writes about this.

The family went on a cruise with Carnival Cruise Line, the largest cruise line in the world, to spend the holidays on board. Before the trip, the parents purchased a Star Wars toy gun at Walt Disney World, planning to give it to their son as a surprise for Christmas.. However, the gift was confiscated by security upon boarding the ship..

A frustrated mother wrote a letter to John Heald, brand ambassador for Carnival Cruise Line, complaining about the situation.. In her address, she emphasized that their son was left without a Christmas present, and the holiday was ruined.

\? Imagine your children not receiving gifts from Santa on Christmas morning.. Who makes such ridiculous rules "

John Heald responded to the family, explaining that the toy gun was on the list of prohibited items not allowed on board cruise ships.. He added that the company's policy is aimed at ensuring safety and preventing possible panic among passengers.

" But such items, including toy weapons or replicas, are subject to confiscation. We always advise against gift wrapping such toys to avoid such situations,"

A company representative recalled that toy weapons, including lightsabers, swords and their replicas, are prohibited from transportation. This measure is aimed at preventing false alarms and ensuring peace of mind for passengers on board.. He also suggested parents choose safer gifts, such as Mickey Mouse or Buzz Lightyear toys..

Focus previously reported that the couple bought an entire village for the price of one house and are looking for new residents. Maaike Geurts and Tibor Strausz paid 350 thousand euros for the abandoned settlement and are already working to turn it into an environmentally sustainable and prosperous community.

It also became known that the woman explained why she lives on a remote island that many have not heard of. The tiny piece of land known as Calf Man became her home for nine months, despite harsh conditions that included only being able to shower once a week..
