Editorial Summary

The creator presents footage provided by a subscriber showing the interior of the Norwegian Jewel, which was one of the last Norwegian Cruise Line ships still carrying passengers during the global shutdown of cruise operations. The ship originally departed Australia for a twenty three day cruise but faced numerous itinerary changes and port denials due to the coronavirus pandemic. After encountering engine problems and being turned away from various locations, the vessel eventually reached Honolulu, Hawaii, where passengers were permitted to disembark. The video features a tour of the nearly empty ship, including the elevator banks, the main atrium, and the buffet area. The passengers interviewed explain that they had been on board for twenty eight days straight, including two weeks at sea without hitting land. While the passengers describe the experience of having much of the ship to themselves as being somewhat fun, they also discuss the logistical difficulties they faced, such as canceled flights and luggage issues. The footage highlights the remaining crew members who continued to work despite the lack of passengers.
