Six American cruise passengers, including a pregnant woman, and two Australians were stranded on an African island during a vacation getaway, according to reports.
And it’s only gotten worse.
A South Carolina couple – Jill and Jay Campbell – said Norwegian Cruise Line left the group on the island of São Tomé, a Central African island nearly 6,000 miles from their home, without their belongings, and allegedly refused to let them board, despite the Coast Guard’s help.
They worked with the U.S. Embassy in Angola and planned to fly to the Gambia in West Africa to meet them at the next port, but the ship wasn’t able to dock because of low tides, according to ABC 15 News, so the group remains in scramble mode.
Norwegian Cruise Line didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The cruise line said in a statement to news outlets over the weekend that the passengers were left on the island “on their own or with a private tour” and missed the all-aboard time.
