The Disney Treasure was forced to make an emergency return to Port Canaveral just one day after setting sail after a guest got a piece of steak lodged in their throat.

What Happened Onboard

Reddit user gayo-mayo shared their firsthand account on the Disney Cruise Line forum, explaining that the ship turned around for them during their seven-day sailing aboard the Disney Treasure, which ran from September 26, 2026, to October 3, 2026. They were traveling with their aunt, uncle, and cousin.

On the night of the incident, the group had an 8:15 p.m. dining reservation at 1923. Due to a family member's dietary restrictions, their food arrived later than usual — around 9:45 p.m.
