That had to hurt. Carnival Glory just hit the pier in Cozumel. Has a rather nasty bruise on it’s butt. Is sailing away at the moment. Damage was way above water line. — Matt Stone (@MattStoneNYC) December 20, 2019

Carnival Glory is currently on a seven night cruise to the Western Caribbean out of New Orleans. Carnival Legend is sailing a seven night cruise to the Western Caribbean from Tampa.
