Carnival Cruise Ships Collide in Mexico, Injuring Six
Cruise safety under scrutiny after collision between Carnival Glory and Carnival Legend
Six passengers injured, two seriously, after Carnival cruise ships collide in Cozumel, Mexico
Two Carnival Cruise ships collided at the port of Cozumel, Mexico, on Friday morning, causing damage to both vessels and injuring six passengers. The Carnival Glory and the Carnival Legend were both preparing to depart from Cozumel when they collided at around 8:30 a.m. local time.
According to Carnival Cruise Lines, two passengers on the Carnival Glory and four passengers on the Carnival Legend were injured in the collision. Two of the injured passengers were seriously injured and were airlifted to a hospital in Miami. The other four passengers sustained minor injuries and were treated on board the ships.
The cause of the collision is under investigation. However, Carnival Cruise Lines has said that there was no damage to the ships' hulls and that both vessels are seaworthy. The Carnival Glory and the Carnival Legend have both been cleared to resume their cruises.
The collision is the latest in a series of safety incidents involving Carnival Cruise ships. In February, a fire broke out on the Carnival Triumph, leaving passengers stranded at sea for several days. In March, a Carnival Dream cruise ship lost power and was forced to return to port.
The safety of Carnival Cruise ships has come under scrutiny in recent years. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report that found that Carnival Cruise ships had a higher rate of gastrointestinal illness outbreaks than other cruise lines.
Carnival Cruise Lines has said that it is committed to the safety of its passengers and that it is working to improve its safety record. The company has implemented a number of new safety measures, including increasing the number of safety drills and installing new safety equipment.
