VIDEO: Cruise Passengers Cheer On Late Arrivals

Normally, when people are late to a cruise ship and rushing to make the boat, the rest of the passengers kind of peer over the railing and pass judgment—even if internally—about responsibility and deadlines.

Not this time.

On a recent Norwegian Cruise Line trip, passengers by the hundreds cheered on three fellow passengers who were late in returning to the Norwegian Escape after taking an excursion while docked in Bermuda.

According to Newsweek, passengers were heard clapping and cheering and encouraging the late arrivals in a video taken by one of the guests already onboard.

The boat was scheduled to depart the Royal Navy Dockyard in Bermuda on June 14 and begin its return to New York City. The video shows two passengers running down the causeway with a third passenger—not in the video—who is also late.

All the while they are being cheered on by a good amount of fellow passengers until the applause ends and the ship’s horn blares as all three make it back.
