SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Hundreds of passengers who set sail from Florida are now stuck more than 1,000 miles from home.

The cruise line said the ship is experiencing propulsion and steering issues that will take days to fix.
Norwegian said all passengers must be off the ship by Tuesday and charter flights are being arranged for passengers.
