Cruise Ship Abandonment: Tales of Stranded Passengers Rescuing Each Other
TL;DR
An 80-year-old woman suffered a stroke and possible heart attack on a Norwegian Cruise Line trip, and the cruise line left her on an African island without contacting her emergency contacts. Coincidentally, six Americans and two Australian passengers were also stranded on the same island after their tour ran late, but a South Carolina couple, Jay and Jill Campbell, came to their aid and ended up saving the elderly woman. The cruise line's response was criticized for not acknowledging the woman's situation, and the family expressed gratitude to the Campbells for their heroic actions.
