Thread: Passenger Boards Wrong Ship for Several Hours - U Turn Required

A PASSENGER got onto the wrong cruise ship at Malaga Port forcing it to do a U-turn.
The woman only realised she had boarded the Louis Majesty several hours after it set sail to another destination.
The incident happened when four cruise liners were docked at the port last week, raising security concerns about how she boarded the wrong ship without anyone noticing.


A small boat was sent out to collect the woman which took her back to the Costa Concordia.

Holy Cow. As tough as lines are with documents I can't believe the security breach

That's just weird. And it was several hours before she realized she was on the wrong ship???? I wonder if alcohol was involved.

Could very well be Garry. Also a solo newbie

The main issue here is SECURITY did not do their job!

She has Costa documents, and ended up on a Louis ship without anyone at security or even Louis Cruise Lines noticing? The passenger found out their error? Is this for real?

Costa concordia and Louis Majesty are wery difference ships and I wondered how got it happened taht one women boarded to wrong ship.

Sounds like a lie to me. Security is NEVER that lax or inept.

I would like to believe that Neal, but the fact that it's making news makes me wonder if the passenger was testing the security systems in place. I'm still very baffled that the passenger found out the error, and not the Rep. of Louis Cruise Lines on check-in prior to boarding.

That is what I mean. It had to be intentional, not accidental.
