From what I read, it hit the gangway when turning around in the harbor. The gangway will be out of commission for a bit. http://galvestondailynews.com/story....b2f9001776211c btw, we are leaving Saturday.

Seriously? What the heck is going on?
Perhaps Carnival should consider sobriety tests for their captains?

I do hope this mishap is what the poster was referring to. I cannot handle finding out my cruise has been delayed, cancelled, or otherwise effected! lol

Saw on the local news that everything is fine. Cruisers will be using the "crew" gangway until the other gangway is fixed.
Have a great cruise!

I was watching the webcam when it backed into the pier. It just kept backing up, then as it bumped you could see the smoke come out of the smoke stack as he gunned it forward. I captured a screen shot but can't post it.

They "kissed" the gangway turning around in front of the terminal the cruise before last. Rather than turning around in front of the terminal on Monday, they sailed up the harbor a little and turned around in the wider basin as the Voyager does every week at departure. No big deal, the ship is fine and you'll board on deck 3 until the gangway is fixed.

The only place that I'm aware of that the Master must turn over full navigational control of the ship is in the Panama Canal. From the article- "Capt. Wally Hogan, president of the association, said pilots performed their duties and were not responsible for the accident. Ecstasy’s captain was in control of the vessel, Hogan said."
