What happened
The cruise ship Carnival Celebration cut short its scheduled call at RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, in the Bahamas on September 25. Although the vessel successfully docked, ocean swells made it unsafe for the ship to remain alongside the pier. The ship pulled away from the dock and is now at sea, having originally been expected to remain docked until 5:00 PM.
