Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally think that the cruise line NCL has to do better and I understand I understand that there are so many protocols that have to be followed

at some point adults have to take responsibility for themselves see me I blame me if something happens

the cruise line has to do better now we'll peel back they are on the ship of course this is a a story that is a couple days old so they are I believe all of them are are back on the ship

I would get on in a heartbeat because it wasn't the cruise line fought I would get on in a heartbeat I'd thank him thank you for letting me on at this different port

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through the cruise line to ensure they know your location and can assist if you're late
Always carry your passport, ID, and a credit card when getting off the ship for emergencies
Leave your passport and medication in your cabin so the crew can find them if you're left behind
Use a buddy system and share your excursion details with someone on the ship
