The article recounts the author's unsettling experience of getting left behind by a cruise ship after a shore excursion in Nuremberg, Germany. Although it was a cruise-organized tour, the ship left without waiting, leaving the author and others stranded. Fortunately, another passenger managed to call the ship's reception, prompting it to return for them. This incident highlights the importance of communication and coordination between cruise staff and passengers, ensuring safety and avoiding misunderstandings during excursions.
