Judge Leads Mutiny Protest.

Manchester (England) Judge Fletcher Christian Alan Berg led a sucessful passenger mutiny protest over the size of the refund Cunard Lines offered passengers on the Queen Mary 2 when a damaged prop forced cancellation of three ports of call.

Judge Berg insisted on a full refund for all passengers instead of the 50% refund offerred and got it when he pointed out that "We have seen a lot of sea for the last 12 days. If I wanted to make a sea voyage on a liner to Rio I would have booked one - but I booked a cruise."

"Inherently the definition of a cruise is that one stops at different ports."

I suspect he must be a pretty good judge.
