Eight passengers, including six from the U.S. and two from Australia, were left stranded on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe after their Norwegian cruise ship departed without them due to their late return from a private tour. The group faced language and currency challenges while trying to catch up with the ship, and after multiple attempts to rejoin the cruise, they are reconsidering whether to board the ship in Senegal. The cruise line, Norwegian, called the incident "very unfortunate" and stated that the passengers are responsible for ensuring their return to the ship at the published time. Despite the challenges, a silver lining emerged as the stranded passengers were able to assist an 80-year-old fellow passenger who was left on the island for medical reasons, ultimately helping her return home safely.
