Passengers aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line’s NCL Epic were thrown into turmoil as a catastrophic engine failure left the massive vessel adrift in open waters with no immediate rescue in sight. The cruise, which departed from Barcelona en route to the Caribbean, was abruptly halted mid-journey, causing panic among the thousands of vacationers onboard.
Eyewitness reports describe power outages, food shortages, and a lack of communication from the crew, leaving passengers in a state of distress. “We have no idea what’s happening! The ship just stopped moving, and now we’re stuck,” said one frantic traveler.
