MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A Halloween cruise took a frightening turn as passengers were heading to Florida. The ship hit an unknown object, officials said, forcing it back to port.
“All I know is that it just went black. The lights went completely out,” said passenger Sandra Douglas from Houston, Texas. “Then they came on for a second and then they went back out. And then the sirens started and they said this was the real thing. Then we had to go back to our floors to get the instructions and the life preservers and things like that.”

Theirs or ours?
Cruise ship encounters largest heroin haul ever!! Cartel really, really p*****.
Was in that very port Oct. 29th, saw that ship. Those are the el-cheapo single day trips from mainland Florida to Bahamas.
Actually, I would call them large ferries. A cruise is a destination itself. These are one way transports,
If you watch them load up on the FL side of the trip, Bahamians are bringing supplies back to the islands.
I haven’t been on one for years, but it isn’t a bad way to get across the water for a long weekend. It’s the same time door to door as going to an airport. You don’t fly in a tiny plane, and you can usually gamble to pass the time.
Well you really are gambling the whole time
Never been on one, never will.
From what I understand be sure to save enough money to pay the Bahama exit tax. Think it's about $30 / head.
Wonder what they hit?
An iceberg?

It could be an American sub, a Ruskie one, or maybe even a drug cartel sub!
