Despite this, guests still enjoyed a seven-day cruise.
A Carnival Cruise reportedly had a full-on “Titanic Moment” after striking an iceberg while sailing in Alaska Sept. 12.
The cruise ship company confirmed The Carnival Spirit departed from Seattle on Sept. 11 and struck “an errant piece of drifting ice” in Alaska’s Tracy Arm Fjord, Fox 13 Seattle reports. But no Titanic-like damage was caused with Carnival verifying that the cruise ship was assessed, and no damage to the hull was discovered.
The Carnival Spirit still went as planned, with guests enjoying a seven-day cruise that arrived back in Seattle on Tuesday. While the crew confirmed the iceberg collision had no impact on operations, guests shared the incident on social media calling it a “Titanic moment.”
“9/5/24 Carnival Spirit hit an iceberg. It didnt do any damage that caused us to use any emergency procedures,” one person captioned a TikTok video of the collision. “The crew did an amazing job at accessing the damage and keep all of its crew and passengers safe and informed!”
