On April 6 approximately 400 Chinese passengers refused to disembark from a cruise ship in Shanghai. The ship with 650 guest rooms was to dock in Fukuoka and Nagasaki during a 6 day voyage. Some 1,800 passengers were expecting to enjoy shopping and cherry blossoms. However due to bad weather the ship did not dock in Fukuoka and passengers could only enjoy four hours in Nagasaki. When the ship returned to Shanghai about 400 passengers refuse to get off in protest of what they considered bad service. They agreed to leave the ship later in the evening after the cruise organizer agreed to pay 250 Chinese yen (about ¥5,000) to each passenger as compensation. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 4/12
