NASSAU, BAHAMAS — A frantic mother watched in horror as a cruise ship left her and her husband behind in the Bahamas while their children were still on board. "You see that right there? That is someone that has missed the boat," said passenger Scott Thomas, who filmed the unfortunate scene and uploaded it to YouTube. The ship, the Norwegian Breakaway, was on a seven-night cruise that started in New York on April 17, when it stopped in Nassau, Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement. On Thursday, the mother wasn't on the ship by the "widely communicated scheduled all aboard time of 5:30 p.m.," the cruise line said. According to the company, staff aboard the ship found the woman's husband and her children but were unable to get in contact with her and did not know when she was returning. After the ship waited an extra half hour for her, her husband agreed to disembark with their travel documents to wait for his wife while the children stayed on board with their uncle and his family for the rest of the trip. Norwegian arranged travel and lodging assistance for the couple and made arrangements for the family to reunite at the ship's next port.
