The waterslides and pool deck of this cruise ship — originally meant to be enjoyed with the backdrop of sparkling, tropical waters — looked a little different covered in New Jersey snow.

Stuck in port overnight in the Garden State due to Winter Storm Hernando, the vessel was blanketed in snow. While the ship was meant to be carrying its thousands of passengers to the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas, guests instead peered out their windows to find pool decks and lounge chairs coated in snow and framed by an unexpected, icy landscape. Photos of the peculiar sight can be seen posted on the cruise line’s blog page.

The weather delay has also set back arrivals in Port Canaveral, Florida, on Tuesday, Feb. 24, as well as later arrivals at Perfect Day at CocoCay and Nassau, the blog reported. If the weather does not improve, then further changes to scheduled voyages may be possible.

A cruise ship passenger filming the walk to their cruise ship was so distracted by his phone screen that he walked straight off the pier, falling into the water below, according to various news outlets.

The incident happened Thursday at Royal Caribbean’s CocoCay, a private island in the Bahamas. Rescue teams sprang into action and tossed the passenger a life preserver before rescuing the man and bringing him back to shore via jet ski, officials said.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported. For many cruise passengers injured by slippery decks, crew negligence, or other cruise ship accidents, the outcome is far less fortunate. Leesfield & Partners — a personal injury law firm with offices in Key West, Orlando, and Miami, home to the world’s largest passenger port — knows this truth better than most. With countless recoveries obtained on behalf of injured passengers and grieving families, our skilled trial attorneys are keenly aware of how quickly a vacation can turn tragic, leaving victims with life-altering injuries.
