Arrived too late: Cruise ship leaves paraplegics and pregnant women behind. After its stop in São Tomé and Príncipe, the ship continued to the next port in Dakar, Senegal.
The eight-man troop, however, stuck to their plan. They sought help from the US embassy and were able to fly to The Gambia and arrive in time for the ship to dock in Banjul. So tourists once again tried to get on board the ship, where the ship was due to arrive on Tuesday.
