Originally Published 1 year ago — by WMBF

A Garden City couple and several other passengers were left stranded on the island of São Tomé after their cruise ship, operated by Norwegian Cruise Line, departed without them. The cruise line stated that the passengers missed the all-aboard time and are responsible for rejoining the ship at the next port of call, including covering any necessary travel costs. The stranded passengers, including elderly individuals and a pregnant woman, are now attempting to reunite with the ship at another African port, facing complications in the process.
