Ship happens.

That, at least, is one lesson to be learned from an accident Friday at the port
in Cozumel, Mexico, where one Carnival cruise ship ran into another while trying
to dock. Carnival Glory, a 952-foot vessel, raked the bow of the 963-foot
Carnival Legend, which had been stationary in port when its counterpart made
crunching, cacophonous contact.

The Carnival Glory appeared to have sustained damage to its aft decks in the
incident.

Luckily, Carnival, the world's largest luxury cruise operator, tells NPR that
just six guests have reported minor injuries, nothing worse. Also lucky: A
witness shot video of the incident as it unfolded.

Be warned before listening, though: Folks on the video shout some graphic
language that's far saltier than the clumsy pun that leads this story.

"We are assessing the damage but there are no issues that impact the
seaworthiness of either ship," a Carnival spokesperson told NPR in an emailed
statement, promising that passengers' itineraries will not be affected. "We have
advised guests from both ships to enjoy their day ashore in Cozumel."

For all the spectacle of the moment, passengers themselves seemed relatively
unfazed.

"All of a sudden we felt the ship rock to one side and then back into place,"
Legend passenger Jordan Moseley told Reuters. "A few minutes later, the cruise
director announced that the Carnival Glory had crashed into our ship while
docking due to the high winds and rough ocean conditions in Cozumel."

Here are some more angles on the big bump and its aftermath. With more salty
language — for which, given the circumstances, you may wish to forgive the
witnesses.

The first question was there a harbor pilot on board?
