A crew member had previously assured the family the chair was safe to use. - **2026-04-25**: Follow-up meeting with the ship's security officer. The crew member's prior assurance that the chair was safe was emphasized. MSC acknowledged the gravity of the situation. - **Status**: MSC is providing documentation and investigating coverage for outside medical expenses. Initial follow-up email sent by Adolfo on 2026-04-27. - **Action Item**: Monitor email for a response from `postcruisesupport@msccruisesusa.com`. ### MSC Follow-up (2026-04-29) - **Response Received**: MSC acknowledged the incident report. - **Timeline**: They requested **90 days** for a comprehensive review and response. - **Next Follow-up**: Late July 2026. - **Status**: Under Official Review. Original message from Brittany (Post Cruise Support): "To properly research your concerns and prepare a comprehensive response, please allow us 90 days to review and reply. An update will be sent via email once we have completed the review process." ### 90-Day Follow-up (2026-07-28) - **Milestone:** The 90-day review period requested by MSC in Brittany's 2026-04-29 email concluded today. - **Gmail case references:** Service request **2-27926967143**; injury claim **2-27942197582**. - **Draft prepared:** Reply in the existing Post Cruise Support thread requesting the completed-review status, medical-expense coverage/reimbursement position, any remaining documentation needs, substantive-response date if still pending, and confirmation that relevant incident evidence remains preserved. - **Recipient:** `postcruisesupport@msccruisesusa.com`. - **Status:** Follow-up ready to send; awaiting MSC's written response. ### Response After 90-Day Follow-up (2026-07-29) - **Response received:** Brittany / MSC Post Cruise Support replied to the July 28 follow-up. - **Substance:** MSC said it had followed up internally with the appropriate team to request an update on the review status and would email again once more information was available. - **Assessment:** This was another holding response, not a completed investigation result, medical-expense coverage decision, reimbursement position, evidence-preservation confirmation, or substantive response. - **Related auto-acknowledgment:** A separate message on July 29 created service request **2-28521288231** and stated that a team member would respond within seven business days. - **Current status:** The case remains unresolved and under internal review after the promised 90-day period. ### Manager Escalation Follow-up Sent (2026-08-08) - **Sent:** Reply to the July 29 MSC claim email. - **To:** MSC Post Cruise Support. - **CC:** Alicia Gillespie. - **Subject:** `Re: BM / Claim Injury / 70380587`. - **Content:** Requested escalation to a manager or claims/risk-management representative, a substantive investigation and reimbursement update, documentation requirements, a response date, and confirmation that evidence remains preserved. The paragraph about MSC asking about my father's current health was removed as requested. - **Verification:** Sent copy appears in Gmail Sent Mail at 2026-08-08 22:24:34 UTC. ### Final MSC Claims Response (2026-09-14) - **Response received:** MSC Post Cruise Support stated that the internal department handling injury claims had concluded its review. - **Decision:** MSC said that no further compensation, credits, or refunds would be extended beyond the accommodations and offers provided during the sailing. - **What remains unanswered:** The email did not provide the requested investigation findings, a medical-expense analysis, an evidence-preservation confirmation, or direct contact with the claims/risk-management representative. - **Practical assessment:** The direct customer-service review path is exhausted unless MSC voluntarily reopens or supplements the matter. Preserve the email and full thread; do not include booking, claim, service-request, or medical identifiers in a public review. - **User objective:** No legal claim follow-up is desired. The goal is to ensure the incident is noticed, documented, and associated with an MSC claim file, while separately creating non-litigious consumer and safety records. - **Source:** Email from `Postcruisesupport@msccruisesusa.com`, subject `BM / Injury Claim / 70380587`, received 2026-09-14 19:18 UTC. ### BBB Complaint Submitted (2026-09-16) - **Receipt confirmed:** BBB email from `noreply@bbb.org` states, “We've received your complaint.” - **Status:** BBB will send the official complaint case number separately; no case number appeared in the receipt email. - **Purpose selected:** No settlement requested — BBB information only. - **Business record:** MSC Cruises, Inc.; the submitted PDF identifies the 6451 N Federal Hwy, Fort Lauderdale location, which is one of MSC’s BBB-listed locations. - **BBB process:** If eligible, BBB may forward the complaint to MSC and normally requests a response within approximately 14 days. BBB states it is not an enforcement agency and that complaint text may appear on MSC’s BBB profile after closure. - **Privacy note:** BBB says submitted complaints cannot be edited or deleted, so no further personal or medical details should be sent unless specifically requested. ### Key Contacts for Medical Case - **Mark Moya** (Front Desk Manager) - 📞 6014 or dial 99 Reception – Guest Service - **Daiana** (Guest Service Agent) - 📞 Dial 99 or press Reception – Guest Service - **Sheila M.
