A rough return to the port of South Carolina, as stormy weather brought heavy seas to the area, passengers aboard a vessel experienced a rough return to the port.
Videos on social media showed high waves and large white caps rocking the cruise ship Carnival Sunshine as it returned to port in Charleston, South Carolina.
The ship's return from a Bahamas had been delayed by the storm, but the dark skies and rough seas remained when the ship passed through the port of Charleston.
Several individuals aboard the ship were able to share photos and videos of the ordeal, a number of which included broken glass, doors knocked out of their frames, and water damage in certain corridors of the ship.
A Carnival Cruise Line spokeswoman told The New York Times on Monday that the incident was a result of an incident on the cruise line.
The weather and rough seas on Saturday caused Carnival Sunshine to return to Charleston. The weather's prolonged impact on the Charleston area affected the ship's arrival and, as a result, the next voyage's embarkation was also delayed. We appreciate the patience and understanding of all our guests. The next cruise of Carnival Sunshine is coming in September. The weather and rough surf led to some crew cabins being temporarily taken out of service while we clean up water damage, Carnival said in a statement. Carnival Sunshine is currently conducting its next cruise, a five-day Bahamas cruise, at its current port. FOX Weather reported that the low-pressure system responsible for the stormy weather in the mid-Atlantic region has now moved inland over North Carolina and will gradually weaken - but not until it dampens plans for holiday beachgoers in the area.
