Dawn is back in King's Wharf this morning.

One of my team members is on that ship. I'm just glad she's not the one I told "go on, take a cruise, you'll love it", she did this on her own.

I can sure see how it could happen, as there is so much coral on the sea bed surrounding the island. I stopped there as part of the transatlantic cruise from Europe to FLL about a year ago, and stood at the railing throughout the approach to and departure away from King's Wharf and could readily see thru the crystal clear water how much there was. The path between the patches of coral was clearly marked with buoys coming in and going out, and it appeared that a ship would not have to veer very far off the proscribed course to encounter some.

This is being well covered on the NCL board. Some 'live from' reports. EM
