Disrupted QM2 passengers to be refunded

Friday, 27 January 20063 min read

Some passengers whose cruise on the Queen Mary 2 was disrupted after a propulsion pod accident are to receive full refunds.

Those disembarking in Rio de Janeiro are to be refunded in full rather than a 50% refund originally offered by operator Cunard.

The world’s largest cruise ship was forced to miss St Kitts, Barbados and Salvador as part of a Latin America itinerary after a propeller pod was damaged as it left Fort Lauderdale on January 17.

The BBC reported that some passengers had threated a sit-in protest over the 50% refund offer.
