Nope.

This happens all the time. There have been people stuck on boats for months and even years. Generally they are waiting on something to resolve and the ship's accommodation is no worse than a local motel and facilities no less than the local town. What's needed is delivered.

Yea it's funny to see all the projection over 'stuck'.

These are Mariners who expect to be onboard for a long time, stuck at sea, as it were.

Mostly nothing to see at sea. Here they have a front row seat to rather interesting activities.
