Looks like it happened in the last half hour.

It looks like it is about to hit the Oasis of the Sea, too, unless it is just the camera angle.

That is what the people recording the videos were also saying!  Looks like it missed it though.  It is still ongoing, I've been following it on someone's FB post that is on one of the Norwegian ships.

That is bonkers! So scary! I wonder what they're going to do with all the passengers on Glory??

[Dawnya00]

How scary! I hope no one was hurt!

Thanks for posting this Redwing.  Ya’ know, I keep looking at Carnival cruises, as I haven’t sailed them in a while.  But, as soon as I think they have their “stuff” together, I see another report, or another video, or another incident with them that makes me pull back.

 

I don’t know if it’s just a lack of training, a lackadaisical attitude, or the drive to suspend or overlook good corporate behavior that there are these safety gaffs, purposeful waste dumping, etc.

 

Like others have said, glad no one was hurt.  But, geez-Louise, while my booking won’t mean a hill of beans to them, I now am going to back away, again!

Wow, just wow. That is one scary incident.

Carnival has gotten hit with more bad news.  They have had to cancel the 1st 8 sailings of their newest ship The Mardi Gras because She will not be finished in time.  First sailing now the 14th of November instead of mid September.

I was going to say from the wake from the back of the ship it doesn't look like a controlled departure.. Seems like those engines are spinning pretty fast.

...or Farmers (bum badum ba bum bum bum).

i am always grossed out by how rusted out Carnivals ships all are.  who would sail on a ship that beat up looking?  looks like folks could have been hurt if that window area that hit the bow was a dining area or stateroom area.

I am wondering about The Legend more than The Glory.  It looks like some of the navigational instruments on the bow of the ship were badly damaged and ended up in the water. 

[NittanyCruise]

Oooof there are several people having really bad days today. 

[bluesea777]

Oh Crikey!! 

 

Looking at Glory deck plans, both levels of aft MDR got smashed in. Missed the staterooms above and below.

 

Also looking at the sea currents, they looked to be so strong ….

 

 

It's on the news in the UK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7814605/Shocking-moment-two-cruise-ships-crash-Mexico.html

My first cruise ever was in 2007 on the Glory.  My wife won another cruise on a raffle ticket she bought on the last night.  We took another cruise the following year on the Legend

We're in Cozumel....it has been very windy the last couple of days....they closed the port for diving/snorkeling.....at 6am this friday morning I was having a cup of coffee in the lobby of our hotel accross the street from the downtown pier and all of a sudden the NCL Dawn comes full speed right by the pier and back out to sea...I think he was at the wrong pier as a Costa ship came in about an hour later...we've been on 25+ cruises and I have never seen a move like that...anyway with the gusts going on here and they don't seem to use tugs as support it doesn't surprise me ....good day to be on land

NCL Dawn

Thread on the RCI forum says the Sun skipped out on the approach and ended up performing some evasive maneuvers to avoid some mooring buoys near the shallow waters.  A picture posted in the thread shows the ship name on the back.  Maybe the Dawn was also supposed to be there?

Here's that thread, linked to the page it's on.  Yes, the title is currently misleading and maybe alarming, indicating the Oasis was also hit (she wasn't).

 

[Sweetnspicy]

😬😬😬 If I was on the Oasis and saw that happen and the ship coming right at us I would have been screaming!! 
 

Somebody is getting fired 😳

I was just looking at the thread on the Carnival page, the most amazing part is that it took 4 pages for someone to make a "glory hole" joke.
