So, while safe and provisioned, it might seem strange that the crew must remain on the ship as 50 salvage divers and some 12 cranes begin removing containers from the vessel. But unscheduled shore leave is a bit more complicated than you might think. According to the BBC, moving the Dali is second priority to clearing the shipping channel in Baltimore’s port, as 11 additional ships remain trapped (four of which are important to U.S. national defense). It’s not terribly surprising that photos and video immediately surfaced. Many cruisers enjoy capturing the arrivals, departures and dockings of ships.

Despite damage sustained in the collision, the Glory is currently continuing its scheduled 7-day Western Caribbean cruise, which is set to arrive back at its origin port in New Orleans, La., on Dec. 22, according to Cruise Mapper. "All of a sudden we felt the ship rock to one side and then back into place," 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." Eight ships from various cruise lines were scheduled to dock at the Port of Cozumel on Friday. The Carnival Glory, which left its home port in New Orleans on Sunday, was scheduled to dock in the port at 10 a.m Friday, while the Carnival Legend was scheduled to dock at 8 a.m. Details of the full extent of the collision have not been released in the ongoing incident but the video supplied by Guardia Costiera did not appear to show harsh weather conditions or heavy seas.

Now-viral videos and photos of the dramatic crash have since surfaced on social media, some of which show the damage to the Carnival Glory. Carnival said the one known passenger to sustain "minor" injuries was hurt while evacuating the dining room on decks three and four of the Carnival Glory. Carnival Legend is based out of Tampa and Carnival Glory is based out of New Orleans, WTSP reports. According to Carnival's website, the Glory is 952 feet long and can carry as many as 2,980 passengers, while the Legend can carry 2,124. Carnival Cruise Line responded to the video on Twitter with a statement addressing the crash and one reported injury. “We have been in direct contact with our guests and will continue to provide them updates as we learn more information from port officials,” he said in an emailed statement.
Two ships for Carnival Cruise collided at a port in Cozumel on Monday morning. The company confirmed that one passenger was injured during an evacuation. Carnival said there will not be any disruptions to either ships' planned itineraries, and the next cruise for both ships is "not impacted." The Legend is scheduled to return to Tampa, Florida, on Sunday morning. Those injured presented themselves to the Carnival Glory medical center for evaluation following the incident, a statement from the cruise line read.
This is developing news and we will be updating this post once more is known. Until then guests are being told to enjoy their day in Cozumel and no doubt crews are assessing the damage done. Thankfully, as the damage is above the waterline, both ships remain seaworthy. Two cruise ships have collided in the port of Mexico’s Caribbean resort of Cozumel, damaging the 952-foot-long (290-meter) vessel and leaving passengers stunned at the loud impact. The company released a letter that Carnival Glory Captain Pero Grubjesic sent to passengers Friday night. Grubjesic apologized for the accident, and told passengers that a formal investigation was ongoing — but said that officials believe spontaneous wind gusts and strong currents knocked the ship off course.
In the video, as one of the ships pulls away, pieces of the other boat can be seen falling into the ocean. "I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing what I did," Skora told ABC News, noting it was the "first time I've ever been scared on a cruise line." Nathan Diller is a consumer travel reporter for USA TODAY based in Nashville. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was investigating and working to remove the yacht, which sank, Estrada said.
