still haven't gotten a refund a month after that cruise was suddenly cancelled. many selling homes or use life savings to fund the trip. now they're demanding action from the government. this morning some passengers of that cancelled three-year life at sea cruise want the department of justice help them get their refunds. >> it seems like one of very few options left open to us at this point. >> reporter: as first reported by "the new york times" at least 78 of the passengers sent a letter to the doj urging the department to investigate life at sea for fraud after millions were allegedly collected by the company. some passengers telling gma they sold their homes to pay for the trip, which was supposed to set sail in november but got cancelled days before because the company did not secure a suitable ship. kerry whitman paying $32,000 for the trip. >> i sold my house, got rid of most of my things. >> reporter: the letter accuses life of sea cruises of mismanaging $16 million, a claim

the company denies. in a text message overnight a representative for life at sea telling gma the passengers are free and have all the right to go to an attorney. we strongly do not accept to be accused a fraud. yes, there is a delay in paying refunds. yes, we lost millions with life at sea. but each and every passenger who asked for a refund will receive it very soon. >> i do not believe that this started out as a scam. i think that the company had all of the best intentions. but at this point there have been enough inconsistencies. it's hard for me to look at it as something otherwise. >> reporter: the passengers would have already been on the first leg of the cruise. many of them americans who bought into the dream of traveling across the globe on a ship. extended cruises are increasing in popularity, with royal caribbean's ultimate world cruise currently at sea, and yet another 3 1/2 year cruise set to sail this may.

>> for us it was a little bit like a traveling hotel room. >> reporter: kerry and her husband say they sold their two apartments and have been stranded in an istanbul hotel while they wait for a refund of over $80,000. >> if there's evidence that shows that the cruise operator was committing fraud, was lying, was materially concealing information. that is going to expand the scope of damages. so these customers may very well be entitled to not just a refund of their money, but all sorts of damages paid for the preparations they might have made or the things they gave up. >> reporter: the passengers behind the push say if they're not getting paradise, they at least want their normal lives back. >> for many of us, this is life destroying. this will change our way of life for years and years to come. >> reporter: in that text messages to us overnight, the company said they would be getting the refunds very soon. they said that means february 15th at the latest. we're going to be watching this. >> please follow up on this one. boy, your heart goes out to these folks. >> $80,000.

we're going to turn to the fishermen taking a case to the supreme court. terry moran is tracking that. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a major case with potentially huge impacts in so many areas. and the question is, when congress writes a law that is ambiguous, who gets to decide what it means? who gets to fill in the blanks? regulatory agents or judges? and the case before the court, as you say, is about fishing boats. under federal law, most commercial fishing boats are required to have federal monitors on board to make sure the seas are not overfished. but the law that congress wrote did not specify who should pay for those monitors. the regulatory agency decided the owners of the boats should pay. they, of course, don't like that. but under a 1984 supreme court case, the supreme court decided that regulatory agencies decisions should be deferred to as long as the decision of the regulators is reasonable. that's a low bar. so when the case came before the

court, conservative justices made clear they think that case gives too much power to regulators. they want judges to take some of that power back and they want to overturn that 1984 case. liberals say, and they warn, that could cause chaos because thousands of cases depend on that 1984 precedent. they also warn that judges just do not have the expertise that regulators do in so many areas that the federal government manages, from medicare, pharmaceuticals, airplane manufacture, all kinds of things, judges would be in over their heads. that's the argument. looks like conservatives do have the upper hand here. there is so much at stake in this case and a decision is expected by the spring. gio? >> terry, thank you very much. before this next story i want to make it crystal clear i believe women are way smarter than men. you got that? >> okay. >> let's go to this new study. this study says men are better at directions.

researchers previously thought evolution played a role giving men better navigational skills. now a team from the university of illinois said it comes down to how boys and girls are raised. they believe boys are encouraged to play outside more than girls are, making them better at mapping their surroundings. the study compared the way finding abilities of males and females across 21 species. including humans. humans were tested by navigating through a real city either with a map or verbal instructions. while women tended to travel farther from home they struggled more than their male counter parts. the faces robin is giving me. the researchers say it all comes down to experience. there's a lesson, get outside more. get your kids outside. >> yeah. sure, sure. >> but these researchers did not meet my mom. she was a human map. >> i will say this, men may be better at directions, but you're terrible at taking directions. am i right? am i right? >> that's for sure.

here's an example of a clear air way. we have small air sacks in our lungs. they help send oxygen to our blood so we can get the air we need. during this cough season you have a buildup of mucus and irritants. that stimulates our cough receptors in our chest and causes the cough reflex. many things can cause the buildup of mucus. common things being common, viral illnesses. also acid reflux, allergies, asthma. things like that can increase your buildup of mucus. it's about figuring out the cause. >> what do you think is the cause this year? we are seeing so much more. >> i think a lot of the causes are the illnesses we are seeing. we're seeing increases in flu, rsv and covid. common things being common. but i also never forget to think about the other causes when i'm evaluating a patient because you never know. >> let's come over here. some people have been dealing with this cough that lasts for weeks on end. what's normal? what's not normal? >> i think this helps illustrate how we are thinking as physicians when you're talking to us about symptoms.

how long has this lasted? i'm looking at how chronic you are based on the time period. first three weeks, typical viral season. that's the typical time where you're going to have that cough. >> three weeks. >> then after that, three to six week mark that's what we call subacute. that's time when we're more investigative. we're doing imaging, trying to figure out what else could be the cause. it could be post infection which is just your lungs healing. and then down here after eight weeks that's something called chronic cough. that's what needs an additional workup including images. just trying to figure out what could be the cause. >> what can we do at home if we have the cough that's just so irritating? simple remedies? >> simple remedies, we all have been taught soups and broth are helpful from our parent, grandparents. >> true or not true? >> it is absolutely true. our grandparents can help us solve that. if you have your tea, honey, even eucalyptus oil if you put it in warm water. it smells fantastic.

>> we are back with one match second chance, a break through for those who need blood stem cell transplants. about 70% of patients don't have a fully matched donor in their family. when they search registry, the odds range from 30% to 80%, depending on their ethnic background. now thanks to brand new research those odds, thank goodness, are improving. this morning new hope for thousands of patients in need of a blood stem cell transplant. >> we want to thank you all for joining us in our fight to help find amelia a bone marrow transplant donor. >> reporter: like amelia johnson who, at 9 years old, was in the fight of her life after being diagnosed

opportunities for patients in need of a life saving transplant who in the past didn't have this opportunity. the research is really making things that ten years ago we thought were impossible now possible. >> my story begins today. i am being admitted for my bone marrow transplant. >> reporter: thanks to the new treatment options and medical advancements doctors finding 23-year-old cassidy, amelia's partially matched optimal donor. on june 3, 2022, amelia, under going a successful blood stem cell transplant. >> our miracle came true. we have cassidy to thank for everything. we have amelia here with us because of her. >> today amelia is thriving, and her family hopes to encourage more people to sign up for the registry and stay committed when called. >> the future is bright. amelia is proof.

with science, technology and more young and healthy donors, all patients will be able to receive their life saving cell therapy and that future is very near. >> amelia's family went public with her need for a donor. by doing so, raised awareness of how others find their donor. one of the most crucial things about this new research is that in not needing a fully matched donor helped address the ethnic disparities getting that crucial transplant. i remember when i got my transplant, my sister was a perfect match. they told me. that only happens 70% of the time. eve somebody on the registry. there was no one for me. my sister had not been a match. now ten years later, it is amazing. amazing. >> bone chilling. >> i know.

i just know families are just, giving them hope. >> what a beautiful little girl. >> she is. >> go to ginger. >> thank you. amelia, robin, everyone who shares their story, you save more lives. this morning the wind chill is only 12 in chicago. i say only 12 not because i'm trying to say that's cold. that's relatively warm compared to what they've been. there will be a reinforcing shot of arctic air as we go into the weekend. feels like will be at subzero sunday morning. 17 below the feels like. nashville, you'll feel like 3 below. as we round out january and go into february, this is the extended outlook from 8 to 14 days from now we're looking above average. it is not warm but it is above average rather than below. let's get a check now closer to home.

all right. now to try before you buy. this morning it's all about those inflated reusable cups that have become the craze on social media and in real life. becky worley tried them all out and she's got news for us. good morning, becky. >> lara, good morning. have you heard about the must have accessory of 2024? a-listers and soccer moms alike are carrying it everywhere. it's hot hot hot. also cold cold cold. yes, it's the stanley cup, but at a rather high price and with some nicely priced competitors, we had to try before you buy. >> this one matches my outfit so we're gonna buy it. >> reporter: how did a reusable cup from a 110-year-old thermos company become the social frenzy of the world. >> i have entered my hydrated era. >> reporter: great, but 45 bucks for a cup? to investigate, i tried out a stanley cup which cost the

aforementioned $45 and compared it to the simple modern cup from amazon at $29.99 and the ozark cup from wal-mart at $19.97. all three hold 40 ounces of liquid and come with screw on caps and straws. none fit very well in exercise machines, but they do all work in a car cup holder. the bottles can hold holt or cold liquid. each have a different claim how long they can keep drinks hot. we wanted to look at their claims on keeping drinks cold. at 6:30 a.m. i filled all three bottles with cold water. all 48 degrees, lids on. i placed them next to a vent in my home where it was 66 degrees. okay. it's now 5:30 p.m. these have been sitting for 11 hours. they started at 48 degrees. let's see what's changed. the stanley is now 54 degrees. 52 degrees.

those are 53. the simple modern came in tops. it only gained about four degrees. final issue, what's the spill situation? ask the ozark has a stopper on the straw itself. let's imagine a catastrophic situation like this thing flips over inside your purse. how much water is coming out of this? i hold each bottle over an empty pan for ten seconds to see how much liquid comes out. could be messy. first the stanley. ten seconds. lot of water. stanley lost just under 1.5 cups of water. next simple modern. ten seconds. not too bad. quarter cup. last up the ozark. again a quarter cup. it has a silicone top on the plastic straw. it was just loose.

yikes. three different bottles, three different price points, all good ways to stay hydrated. now, i have to tell you having these around the house, i have been drinking a lot more water. i think it's because i don't have to unscrew anything or flip a top. just a straw and you can drink. i think that's a sad testament to how lazy i am. [ laughter ] just the straw makes me drink more water. of the three, it's sort of a goldilocks situation. i'm going to probably use the simple modern the most. it's got the middle price point. i like the design. all good choices and shopable here today, lara. >> great minds think alike. that's the one i picked as well. i got one for christmas. i use it all the time. thank you, my friend. coming up fun ways to get fit with your kids. check it out coming up on gma. n ways to get fit with your kids. check that out. it's coming up on gma.
