The first five years cruise schedule is decided as explained in the “Exploration” section of this website but it should be emphasized that all apartment owners have equal voting rights, not related to the size of the apartment owned, in other words, each apartment owner has one vote .
Raffles is a yacht and does not have to be anywhere at a specific time as a cruise ship or its competition that carry day paying passengers do. This means that if you spot an island you want to explore you can use your computer (provided) to ask the Captain to poll the other owners. If all, or a majority agree, Raffles stops and the follow on schedule is adjusted (in practice probably delayed by a like period).
Events such as storm, or say a national port strike in a country, can of course also mean adjustment to the cruise program.
