Stranded: Cruise Passengers Left on African Island by Norwegian Cruise Line
TL;DR
A couple was stranded on a small African island after missing their Norwegian Cruise Line ship's boarding deadline following a tour in São Tomé and Príncipe.

The cruise line stated that passengers were responsible for being on time and that the missed deadline was communicated clearly.
