That's gonna cost a couple of bucks to repair.

That's possible. Crew mishap in general though.

Wow. I wonder what people died from? When's the last time you heard of people dying on a ship that ran aground, especially in presumably calm seas.
raydan @ Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:41 am
Rip... but I'm surprised so few died.
Could have been a lot worse.

Only a bit over half the lifeboats were launched - many jumped into the sea to swim ashore to the nearby islet.

$1:
Most of those on the cruise were Italian but there were also large numbers of German and French passengers as well as some British nationals.
AND 26 Dutchies...

Either that or gross human negligence. It is insanely close to shore
