Passengers on a Norwegian Cruise were left stranded on an African island after missing the boarding time by over an hour. The eight passengers, including Americans and Australians, were on a private tour and failed to return to the ship on time. The cruise line defended its actions, stating that passengers are responsible for returning on time and that protocols were followed. After being left behind, the group was eventually reunited with the ship after efforts to catch up with it and board by Wednesday morning. The incident has sparked criticism of the cruise line, with another incident involving an elderly passenger who had a medical emergency also coming to light.
