Last Monday, they got: three options of what they would spend the day. They could either visit the popular the hobbit town of Hobbiton from Lord of the Rings, go river rafting or visit the volcano on White Island.

Approximately 30 passengers chose the latter, which meant that the vast majority of the people who were on the island during the eruption of the volcano, came from the cruise ship.

Now tell more passengers on Ovation of the Seas to the media News.com.au it was a coincidence that they chose the volcanic island, and that they feel guilt over, that they were cosy turistture, while their fellow passengers endured a nightmare on the White Island.

Jo-Anne Anderson, who chose river rafting trip, telling the media that she feels guilty about, that she was in security, while some of her fellow passengers went through the horrors on the volcanic island.

"I'm very sorry. I feel selfish. We had a good time with the river rafting, while the other was caught in the volcanic eruption. It is not to wear," she says and continues:

"The people here were on their the vacation of a lifetime, and now they are coming never home."

the Eruption of the volcano on White Island has claimed the lives of 18 people, while others are still reported missing. There are 27 injured, several of them have very serious injuries.

Kim Lee Eng says that she and her company had actually decided to go to White Island, but that they reconsidered.

"We have always wanted to experience anything like it on the White Island, but since we had my mother of 86 years, and when one of our friends was on crutches, we opted to go to Hobbiton instead."

It is believed that there were 44 people on the uninhabited island since the outbreak happened. No danes were present on the island.
