I see this Liner is in the news today re passengers suing the Company
due to a "botched" up itinerary caused by Engine troubles. You never  
seemed to have that trouble years ago with the old P & O's "Straths"  
with their reliable and "empire route" tested Vickers & Armstrong  
built engines not forgetting our B.I Barclay & Curle built units  on  
"Uganda", "Kenya" & "Nevasa". Was the "Aurora" fitted with those giant  
"outboard motor" style pods which have caused trouble before?

Litigation also seems to be  common on today's Cruising  
scene :probably "professional" litigators travel on cruises just  
hoping for trouble. Where has the "grin & bear it" stoicism idelled in  
our National psyche gone!!!!!
