Hurricane Sandy Hits Disney Crusie Ship – Video
Yikes Hurricane Sandy seems to be everywhere! while everyone’s attention was on the mainland we forgot about the hundreds of cruise ships out at sea. One in particular is Disney’s Fantasy Cruise Ship which sustained some damage as it was tossed around during the storm. The ship tried porting on the 26th and 27th. The most significant damaged was on the restaurants, stores, and bars. Passengers said the ship tilted so far to the right that the furniture moved across our room. Read more reports below. Luckily everyone and the ship made it to port ok.
Claire Stopher writes at Staten Island Live:
“The final night of the cruise was terrifying. The damage that was done to the stores, bars and ship was stunning the next morning and very sad.”
A CNN reader filed an iReport, writing:
“By 12:00 a.m. Saturday, the ship was being tossed in every direction… Around 2 a.m., there was a violent tossing of the ship from side to side and most of the furniture was overturned in our room. All of the glassware was shattered as it hit the ground… Shortly after, the most intense moments, the ship’s captain announced that all passengers should remain in their rooms. The two upscale restaurants (Palo and Remy) had major damage.”
