...leisurely voyage, but some soon began complaining that their cabins were half-painted, had no beds or showers and were inhabited by roaches. Some toilets were clogged, while others would not stop running. One of the ship's pools remained empty for two days; the other, deep inside the vessel, could be reached only by clambering over piles of garbage and dirty laundry. Sales agents had overbooked the cruise, and tour officials herded all the waiting passengers on board, hoping somehow to accommodate them. But there were 150 more passengers than available cabins.

This was discussed during the negotiation with the companies, but, said a Justice Department official, such conditions "would have got us into an area beyond our role...
