Carnival Cruise Lines newest mega ship The Carnival Horizon hit the west end of Pier 90 upon returning to New York this morning. There appears to be only minor damage to the bow of the ship and no injuries to passengers. The authorities as well as the Coast Guard have been notified and are currently assessing any damages to the pier.
When coming into the harbor in New York it can be quite a process to dock at Pier 90, as the ship has to make a 90 degree turn.
Debarkation today as well as embarkation this afternoon for the next sailing will continue as planned. The Horizon is scheduled to embark on an 8-night Caribbean itinerary this afternoon with port stops San Juan, Amber Cove, & Grand Turk.
