WHEN people think of taking a cruise, it generally evokes the soothing sounds of the ocean and calming sea views, however one man from Brisbane recently claimed his experience was far from a sleepy affair.
Brendan Ritson had sailed on an 11-night South Pacific cruise in Dec 2016, and told a Brisbane court he deserved a refund because the occupants next door “snored and spoke loudly,” according to a report in The Brisbane Times.
The court ultimately dismissed the case stating Ritson was “unreasonable” because he was offered a new room but refused to take it because it meant downgrading his cabin.
