Carnival Cruise Ship Collides with Dock in St. Kitts
28 January, 2010
Carnival Cruise Ship Collides with Dock in St. Kitts Late risers on Carnival Miracle may have woken up with a bang this morning when the ship collided with the dock during berthing maneuvers at approximately 8:35 a.m. Although no guests or crewmembers were injured, the ship suffered a 30-square-foot gash in the forward port side of its hull. According to a statement from Carnival Cruise Lines, repairs are already under way. However, as they won't be completed until tomorrow, the ship must remain in St. Kitts overnight -- it was originally scheduled to depart at 4 p.m. St. Kitts is the last port of call on Carnival Miracle's eight-night Caribbean itinerary, and the ship's arrival back in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday will depend on what time it is able to depart the island on Friday. Carnival will offer a full schedule of onboard activities for passengers this evening. We'll keep you posted on any changes to the itinerary of the January 31 cruise. --by Erica Silverstein, Senior Editor |

The Carnival Miracle arrived on Sunday but I don't know if it was on time or not. There was a large group of people just off the Miracle on my Tampa to PHL flight tonight, Sunday night. sue |
