Cruise protest averted by full refunds
Passengers on the Queen Mary 2 today called off a planned sit-in to protest a last-minute itinerary shift after the cruise operator said it give passengers full refunds.
Passengers on the world’s largest and most expensive passenger liner, which arrived in Rio de Janeiro today, had threatened to protest against a decision by the Miami-based operator, Cunard, to cut stops in Barbados, St. Kitts and Salvador, Brazil, to make up for time lost due to a damaged motor.
