The AP is reporting that some passengers cruising aboard the Queen Mary 2 are threatening to remain on the ship at its next port of call to protest a last-minute itinerary change.

Cunard, which owns and operates the ship, apparently had to cut three stops—Barbados, St. Kitts and Salvador, Brazil—out of its Latin American tour because of a problem with a propulsion motor. A Cunard spokesperson said QM2’s next stop will be Thursday in Rio de Janeiro.
