Carnival cruise ship hits iceberg in ‘Titanic moment’

A Carnival cruise ship caused what some passengers described as a “Titanic moment” when it smacked into an iceberg during a voyage to Alaska.
“If we die it is damn well worth it, it’s a Titanic moment,” said one passenger who posted a video on TikTok showing the ship approaching the chunk of ice.
After the collision, which happened last Thursday and jolted those onboard, the ship was halted for damage assessment. There turned out to be none, Carnival said in a statement to Cruise Hive, and the vessel continued on its way.
The week-long trip concluded in Seattle on Tuesday as previously planned.
As far as Carnival was concerned, the berg bump hubbub was a great, big nothing burger, and the same ship has since left for another roundtrip cruise to Alaska.
The iceberg that hit Titanic dwarfed the Spirit’s ice chunk nemesis, which barely nicked the boat. Witness testimony put the ice rock that sunk the unsinkable ship at about 50 to 100 feet high and 400 feet long, compared to the Titanic, which was 883 feet long, 92 feet wide and 175 feet tall from keel to smokestack.
