Carnival Triumph Breaks Free From Moorings

[Tonka's Skipper]

I'm surprised that no one posted the picture under DCL picture of the day!
Now this could NEVER happen to a DCL ship or did it?

I don't now if it happened to DCL, but this is not a uncommon incident. It has happened to various lines and vessels, hell it almost happened to me when I was a fresh young 3rd mate! We were pulled off the dock but the lines held and we just winched the vessel back along side!


U tube has a few videos...........One with RCL.

It's happened to the Disney Wonder, and did not make the headlines.

If you read the thread posted about it back then, it DID make the news. It's just been so long ago that no one remembers (2008).

Obviously, right now anything bad that happens on or to a Carnival ship is going to be news, as this incident was, even though it wasn't their fault at all.

Just wanted to give a shout out to my old CCL ship (and last really fun CCL too) who is having its debut after months of therapy!

Happy Sails, Triumph!
