Carnival Cruise’s insurance rates just went through the roof — 2 of their massive ships collided, causing a huge panic on several ships … including one where passengers were losing their minds.
The scary maritime accident went down Friday morning near the Port of Cozumel, Mexico — the Carnival Glory, on the right, smashed into the pointed bow of the Carnival Legend. The video is pretty insane … like a low-speed, but VERY high-priced, fender bender at sea.
The cruise line is reporting one minor injury to a Carnival Glory guest that happened while dining rooms were being evacuated.
But, someone might want to check on a passenger on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas — which was dangerously close to the collision — the guy aboard panicked they were about to be sunk.
You can hear the passenger yelling, “He’s gonna hit us next!” and demanding his friends shoot video … before they tell him to calm the hell down.
Video shows Glory did come dangerously close to slamming into Oasis too … but eventually got back on course and sailed away from the port. So, hopefully, that dude chilled out.
The Carnival Glory departed from New Orleans last Sunday for a 7-night cruise and is scheduled to return this upcoming Sunday. The cruise line says it’s assessing the damage to both of its ships.
