Let me know in the comments! *** The Story *** "Disgruntled cruise ship passengers staged a ‘mutiny’ after their mystery voyage ended up stopping at Great Yarmouth and a Dutch port likened to a council estate. Some travellers refused to even step off the Balmoral ship after forking out up to £1,400 for an 11-night stay. According to The Sun, others got into heated rows with staff aboard the 710-room vessel about the lacklustre itinerary. One guest told the paper: ‘It’s mutiny on here.’ Having set off from Newcastle, many of the guests expecting to find ‘hidden gems’ were underwhelmed when the liner docked for its first stop in Norfolk – nothing more than a very expensive lift home for some."

A mystery cruise is a cruise where the passengers don't know which ports will be stopped at during the cruise. The cruise has a fixed start and endpoint and passengers know how long the cruise will last. Details of the cruises itinerary are revealed to guests day by day. A number of cruise lines provide mystery cruises and the amount to which the itinerary is a 'mystery' varies. On some mystery cruises, passengers may have a rough idea of where the cruise is going and on others, they have no idea. Are you a first-time cruiser?
