**Carnival Cruise Ship Suffers Collision in Ocho Rios** On Tuesday morning, February 6th, the Carnival Magic cruise ship chartered for a "Six Terrifying Nights of Music and Madness" event collided with a pier in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The incident occurred as a result of strong winds and swells caused by heavy rainfall and windstorms that had impacted the islands. The collision caused significant damage to the ship, leaving it "banged up." Tugboats fought to control the situation and pull the ship to shore, but not before 8 passengers and 14 crew members sustained injuries. The Carnival Magic had departed from Florida on Sunday and docked at the pier in Ocho Rios shortly after 8 am local time. The passengers were reportedly off-board at the time of the incident. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining safety procedures and responding effectively to weather-related events. Carnival Cruise Line has yet to release any further details or updates on the incident.
