MIAMI (AP) — Authorities say the crew of what is considered the world’s largest cruise ship rescued 14 people clinging to a small boat adrift on the ocean. Passengers aboard the Icon of the Seas captured video of the crew using a small vessel to ferry the group to the safety of the cruise ship on Sunday. Passengers say the cruise had begun in Miami, and the ship was headed for Honduras when the rescue happened. Passenger Alessandra Amodio says that after the rescue, the cruise ship’s captain announced that the crew had rescued 14 people stranded at sea for eight days.
