CRUISE NEWS: Engine Trouble Causes Tender to Run Aground!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reports on an emergency involving a tender boat during a current sailing of the Crown Princess. The vessel, which was carrying thirty passengers, experienced engine failure while transporting people from the ship to Kangaroo Island, a destination off the coast of South Australia. Due to the engine failure, the current pushed the boat toward the shore until it ran aground on the sand. Because the water was only thigh high, the passengers were instructed to put on life jackets and wade toward dry land to rescue themselves. The creator notes that all passengers reached safety without injury. While some passengers were able to proceed to their planned shore excursions, others reported missing their scheduled activities due to the delay. The video also mentions a similar reported incident involving the Diamond Princess at the same location earlier in December, where a tender boat reportedly ran onto the rocks following engine trouble.
