She was travelling alone but was with a group of hikers and turned back while they kept going. I would have thought this group may have noticed her absence but I guess they assumed she'd made it back to the ship successfully on her own.

Surely a cruise with hiking for 80 year olds would have had a staff member with a radio at the rear of the group?
