Eight cruise passengers, including Americans and Australians, who were left stranded on an African island after their ship departed without them, will be reimbursed for some of the expenses they incurred while rushing to make it back to the ship. The passengers had to travel through multiple countries in a race against time to reboard the Norwegian Dawn in Senegal after the ship couldn’t dock in Gambia due to low tides. The cruise line initially stated that the passengers were responsible for arranging their own travel back to the ship but later agreed to reimburse them for their costs. The passengers, who were left without their belongings and essential medications, managed to return to the ship after a challenging ordeal and will now continue their African voyage.
