The Norwegian Jewel cruise docked in Auckland this morning at 6am, after abandoning its planned stop in Tauranga after a 62-year-old Australian man jumped overboard on Sunday night. The Norwegian Jewel searched the waters nearby until the early hours of Monday morning. Passenger Anna Edwards said staff closed off sections of the Norwegian Jewel where the man jumped from. Anna Edwards said passengers aboard the Norwegian Jewel subsequently heard the sick woman "didn't make it". Lilian Shub said the food and service aboard the Norwegian Jewel was "outstanding" but the disruption was unfortunate.
