Passengers aboard a cruise ship stranded off Norway say the vessel is being tossed about by wind and waves as they continue to await rescue.
“It’s miserable as the seas are still very high with strong winds,” passenger Ryan Flynn tweeted at what he estimates was 3:15 a.m. local time. “The ship continues to pitch and roll. Captain is hoping the winds and seas calm enough to bring ship into port. Good luck!”
