Breaking news: Carnival legend collides with rccl ship!

[formercruisestaff]

I'm just getting detalis, but apparently the Carnival Legend just collided with a RCCL ship in Cozumel!

[formercruisestaff]

Apparently there is significant damage to both ships - the other one was the Enchantment of the Seas

I hope everyone is alright. Those ships are huge. I'm impressed this sort of event is not more common.

I keep checking the news and all the news.com's and this is not mentioned yet. I sure hope it means all are ok.

That is interesting. Makes worrying about icebergs seem kind of trivial... :-) I should have clarified my original post - I'm surprised these ships don't hit each other more often!

Just got the post from USAToday minor damage no injuries!! http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=68500121.blog

Mother nature has a way of doing things her way. No matter how big or how powerfull these chips are mother nature pushes them around like toys....

 

Just glad no one was hurt, except for the pride and career of the pilot

I hope all is okey and the damage is not too great. I hope there were no injuries.

Clearances along some port lanes I've been in is marginal. Almost any wind past a gentle breeze could push one ship into another (or the dock.)

[Krazy Kruizers]

Just heard about this.

 

Nothing on our news.

 

Glad there was only minor damage and no injuries.

The pictures on the RCCL board don't look too bad. Wonder if they might have to stay in Coz for a couple days?...That would suck...:D

I wonder what it SOUNDED like. Hopefully, someone had a camcorder running, or has an .AVI .MPEG .MPG .MOV

[Texaslandshark]

I wonder which captain got the ticket??:confused:

I'm guessing the one on the ship (Carnival) that was moving. :p

[MEOWSMURPHY]

We'll be on her in 3 days...bet the damage will still be evident :D

 

PS..John didn't mention a thing about it in his blog..

Probably not since a pilot would have been in control at the time.

It is because John has not posted to his blog since this occurred. His next posting should be around 3-4pm Central time.
