SC couple stranded on African island after allegedly abandoned by their cruise ship

One couple from Garden City is currently stranded 5,960 miles from their South Carolina home.

Jill and Jay Campbell boarded a Norwegian cruise last Wednesday, March 20.

A week later, they and seven other passengers were left stranded on the African Island Nation São Tomé and Príncipe after their ship left without them.

After numerous attempts of trying to get a hold of Norwegian, the group is now scrambling to figure out how to get back on the ship to get home.
ABC15 spoke with the couple about the situation and what they’re doing now.
