A Carnival cruise ship was undamaged after grazing a piece of ice in Alaska’s Tracy Arm Fjord last week — with one passenger dramatically comparing it to a modern “Titanic moment.”
The hull of the Carnival Spirit was assessed and no damages were found after the incident on Thursday, Carnival Cruise Line wrote in a statement to The Post.

Passengers and other users on social media veered far into dramatics over the incident anyways.
“If we die, it was damn well worth it,” passenger Cassandra Goskie said in a video she shared on TikTok. “It’s a Titanic moment.”

On Sept. 6, another Carnival cruise — the Carnival Vista — rerouted its Caribbean trip due to an engine problem, much to the chagrin of its passengers who have since demanded refunds.
