Since both ships are owned by Carnival, I’m sure the call to HQ was fun.

I’m sorry, I know it’s a scary, serious situation, but the commentary on this video is amazing. Far better than the video itself. “WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!” 😂😂 Glad no one was seriously injured.

I can imagine the jolt when those two huge ships collided. I assume people hit the Poop deck.
