A cruise liner has scraped another while trying to dock within the Mexican resort of Cozumel, damaging a minimum of one among the boats and leading to minor injuries to 6 passengers.
Carnival Cruise Line said the Carnival Glory was manoeuvring within the port when it “made contact” with the Carnival Legend.
Videos shot by startled passengers and posted on social media showed the noisy, slow-moving accident, which left a part of the Glory visibly mangled at the strict.
The cruise line said it had been assessing the damage, but there have been “no issues that impact the seaworthiness of either ship”.
It said six guests came to the Glory’s medical centre for evaluation for minor injuries.
According to Carnival’s website, the Glory sails from New Orleans on cruises to the Caribbean and therefore the Panama Canal, and is 952ft long with a guest capacity of two,980.
The Legend operates from multiple ports within the US and Europe to a spread of destinations, and is 963ft long with a capacity of two,124.
