Two Carnival cruise ships collided in Cozumel, Mexico
By Paul P. Murphy From CNN
It does not appear the either cruise liner’s itinerary will be affected by the crash, as Carnival says they’ve told guests to enjoy their day ashore.”The crash wasn’t too bad,” Carnival Legend passenger Mary Anne McKinley told CNN. “Just felt like a big wave crashing into the ship.”Carnival Glory passenger Maddison Haynes described the crash similarly.
Some of the Carnival Glory decks were crushed in the collision.”Last night we experienced some major motion on the boat so this morning we assumed something similar was happening,” Haynes told CNN. “We felt a jolt and didn’t really think anything of it.”McKinley says an on-board announcement after the crash said the currents caused the crash. Haynes told CNN that an on-board announcement said high winds were a factor.
