A cruise passenger from Nottingham has been handed a four-figure payout after a worker returned to his room after delivering a pizza - and repeatedly asked him if he was "sure" he wasn't gay. Lewis Meehan, 27, says he was propositioned after he dialled room service aboard the Britannia, a P&O Cruises ship, in the early hours of January 23.
The nightclub manager says a staff member delivered his food but then returned, saying he needed payment. Footage shows what followed - with the waiter repeatedly asking Lewis if he is "sure" he is straight after entering his room.
Mr Meehan made a complaint soon after, and it is claimed that the man was removed from the ship at the next stop on the Caribbean trip. And Carnival UK, which owns P&O Cruises, has since made a payout to Mr Meehan, understood to be in the thousands. He said: "It was just so unexpected - it totally ruined our holiday. My sister was really scared by it."
