Carnival Cruise Line is assessing damage to two of its ships that collided Friday morning in Cozumel, Mexico.
Videos posted on social media showed the Carnival Glory crashing into the Carnival Legend as it maneuvered to dock.
In response to questions on Twitter, Carnival tweeted that it is assessing the damage to both ships. The company said there has been one minor injury reported from a Carnival Glory guest hurt while they evacuated from the dining room.
Carnival said in a statement that the Carnival Glory was maneuvering to dock when it collided with the Carnival Legend, which was already alongside.
“We are assessing the damage but there are no issues that impact the seaworthiness of either ship. We have advised guests from both ships to enjoy their day ashore in Cozumel,” Carnival’s statement said.
