Julie Lenkoff, 80, suffered a medical emergency on a Norwegian Cruise, which 'medically disembarked' her on an African island, but her family said the cruise line never contacted them.
Norwegian Cruise Line forced an 80-year-old woman, who suffered a stroke and possible heart attack, to 'medically disembark' on an African island and 'left her to die,' her family said. That was on Wednesday, March 27, and the cruise line never called Julie Lenkoff's emergency contacts and had one conversation with the family between Wednesday and Monday without providing any answers, her family said.
Fox News Digital received statements early Tuesday morning, 24 hours after asking questions about both situations. 'During the same sailing, on March 27, 2024, a separate and completely unrelated unfortunate event occurred regarding a guest who was evaluated by our onboard medical team and later thought it best for her to be disembarked to receive further assessment and treatment as needed from a local hospital,' the cruise line said in an email.
Our team has been working closely with the local authorities to understand the requirements and necessary visas needed if the guests were to rejoin the ship at the next available port of call. We are in communication with the guests and providing additional information as it becomes available.'
