Mutiny on the Queen Mary 2?

Friday, 23 Jan, 2006 0

Passengers disgruntled with itinerary changes aboard the Queen Mary 2 are threatening shore boycotts in protest.

The world’s largest and most expensive ship had to cut three stops out of its Latin American tour because of engine problems, reported the Associated Press.

The cruise line offered 50% refunds to make up for missing stops in Barbados, St. Kitts and Salvador, Brazil.

Some passengers unhappy with the arrangement met with the captain.

Passenger Alan Berg said “many” people were unhappy and wanted full refunds.

The ship is scheduled to get to Rio de Janeiro on 26 January.
