Nightmare: Family of 9 Left Abandoned in Alaska, Forced to Pay $9K to Cruise that Ditched Them
An Oklahoma family’s dream vacation turned into a nightmare last week after their cruise ship set sail without them following a tour-bus mixup.
The nine family members, including six young children and a senior citizen, were left to make their way home to Tulsa from a remote Alaskan island without their passports, luggage and prescription medication.
Cailyn Gault called the experience a “horrible ordeal.”
Her husband, Joshua Gault, told KJRH-TV that he and his family disembarked from the Norwegian Cruise Lines Encore on Friday in Ketchikan to attend a lumberjack show.
When they tried to board the bus to return to the ship, they were turned away.
