About 4,000 people are stuck on a cruise ship off the coast of Mexico waiting to return home.
Two of Norwegian Cruise Line’s ships, the Norwegian Escape and the Norwegian Sky, were sent back early to Miami before Hurricane Irma struck Florida. The cruise liner awarded passengers a pro-rated refund for part of the trip that was missed. Those who had no hotel or ability to leave Florida were given a safe place to stay by allowing them to sail back out to sea on the cruise liner Escape, to wait as Irma passed over the region, USA Today reported.
