Stranded Passengers: Dramatic Incidents on Norwegian Cruise Ship in Africa
A group of cruise ship passengers, including an American couple, were left behind on an African island during a tour stop and had to endure a challenging journey through multiple countries to catch up to the ship. The passengers, who were on a privately-run excursion, were not allowed to reboard the ship despite efforts by the island's coast guard. The cruise line stated that guests are responsible for returning to the ship on time, but the stranded passengers criticized the lack of care and concern for their well-being. The couple is uncertain about rejoining the cruise after the ordeal.
