HURRICANE Sandy has caused minor damage
to Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Fantasy during
its return to Port Canaveral in Florida last
weekend.
According to internet posts by passengers on
board, doors were shattered and crockery was
smashed due to a “violent tossing of the ship,”
with the ship’s captain advising those on board
to remain in their staterooms.
Disney Cruise Line said that “overall the ship
is fine,” with some cracked windows and
furniture damage, and is continuing its current
itinerary, a seven night voyage in the Western
Caribbean.
MEANWHILE ports on the US east coast are
mopping up after the huge storm, with the
Port of New York and New Jersey expected to
reopen today or tomorrow.
‘Frankenstorm’ caused major ructions,
interrupting power and causing flood and wind
damage, while the closure of the port meant
that some vessels including Norwegian Gem
and Crystal Symphony were diverted.
