Duplicate passengers on White Star's Majestic and Germanic

Classification: Query
Any guesses as to why Simon Mathews (ticket 41200 on line 3) and several other passengers are listed as arriving on May 17, 1900 in New York from Queenstown AND Simon Mathews (ticket 41200 on line 13) on the Majestic arriving on May 24, 1900 from Queenstown? Multiple names are repeated on both ship records. At first I thought perhaps Simon Mathews had gotten sick and missed his ship but then I noticed that several people are repeated on both records.

Did the ship have a mechanical breakdown? Was it overbooked?
