Cruises scheduled for April 4 and
April 18 have been cancelled as a result of the ship being auctioned
off as part of the Royal Olympia bankruptcy. The ship was
chartered by Sun Cruises from Royal Olympia. Royal Caribbean had

work something out with RCCL.

A 14 year old girl was lured to a crew member's cabin by the
offer
of an alcoholic drink and was raped by 3 crewmen (dining room waiters).
The
mother reportedly was told that the cruise line was not responsible
because
the waiters were not acting in their capacity as waiters -- this
happened
in their own time.
