Some 300 passengers had to be forcibly removed from a cruise ship in Shanghai on Tuesday after a row with the cruise company.
The passengers refused to leave the Quantum of the Seas after it was detoured to South Korea from Japan due to Typhoon Goni. The nine-day trip departed from Shanghai on 23 August and was supposed to stop in three Japanese cities, but had to be diverted to three cities in South Korea because of adverse weather.
