This actually seems to happen semi-regularly in Queensland. This is certainly not the first time.
You’d think they’d have some kind of infallible double redundancy tag out system.
One wonders how often this might happen and go unreported.
Edit: oof. Sorry, I just read the article. Looks like she didn’t die because she was left behind. Rather, she fell off a cliff and died which is why she didn’t board the boat prior to it’s departure. Still. Wouldn’t hurt to have some awareness of how many passengers had re-boarded the boat.
Only been on one cruise years ago but pretty sure the fine print you agree to says, if your not back on the ship when it’s time to leave port you’re on your own finding your way onward.

Yeah, but fine print isn’t always binding.
You can leave someone in Port if they were dawdling back from the bar.
You can’t leave an 80 year old woman alone on an uninhabited island in the heat with no water.
It’s prob should have a level of care from the cruise company when it’s to a remote or uninhabited island VRs a tourist city.
True.
The logistics of handling that many people makes it near impossible to manage. But I get what you’re saying.
I think you should go read it again. It isn’t really clear when she died.
