Norwegian cruise guest falls from gangway, suffers 'minor injuries'
"On duty crew members were able to immediately assist the guest from the water and see that they were evaluated by the medical team," the spokesperson told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. "It was determined that they sustained minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital for further examination and treatment." The ship departed from Civitavecchia on May 24 for a 10-day cruise with stops in Italy, Greece, Malta and France, according to CruiseMapper. Tyler Roys, Senior Meteorologist with AccuWeather, said there were wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour in the afternoon from the east-northeast. "Gusts like this are not usual as we move into the summer months but are more common during the winter season," he said in an email. The cruise line halted disembarkation and embarkation until the weather improved and "the ship was able to safely dock again." "During this interruption, our crew were actively attending to our guests until they were able to re-embark the ship," the spokesperson added. "As always the safety of our guests and crew is our top priority." The incident isn't the only one of its kind in recent years. Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Magic ship hit a pier in Jamaica during windy weather in February 2024. Wind also caused an MSC Cruises ship, MSC Sinfonia, and another Norwegian vessel, Norwegian Prima, to break from their moorings the previous month.

Carnival cruise ship rescues 4 people, 3 dogs from catamaran stranded in Pacific Ocean
Carnival cruise ship rescues 4 people, 3 dogs from catamaran stranded in Pacific Ocean Show Caption Hide Caption How to find the best price, perks when booking a cruise Find the cruise that works for your budget with these tips. Problem Solved A Carnival Cruise Line ship rescued four people and three dogs from a boat stranded in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. Noumea's Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre notified Carnival Splendor about a distress call from a catamaran while the ship was traveling south of New Caledonia on Thursday, according to a news release. The ship departed from Sydney, Australia on May 19 for an eight-day South Pacific cruise. 'The Carnival Cruise Line ship immediately headed towards the location and was able to reach the vessel five hours later to complete the rescue,' the company said. 'The two couples and their three dogs were safely welcomed onto Carnival Splendor and are receiving food, water and medical assistance.' Carnival did not specify who the stranded passengers were. Noumea's MRCC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Carnival Splendor will visit Vanuatu's Mystery Island on Friday, followed by Noumea on Saturday, before heading back to Sydney. The news comes after one of the cruise line's other ships, Carnival Paradise, rescued five people from a small boat in distress south of Cabo San Antonio, Cuba last week.

Watch: Man arrested after allegedly trying to climb onto cruise ship in Sydney
A man was arrested after allegedly trying to climb onto a cruise ship over the weekend. Law enforcement responded to reports of the incident at the overseas passenger terminal at The Rocks, a historic area in Sydney, Australia, around 3 p.m. local time on May 17, according to the New South Wales Police Force. 'On arrival, officers attached to Marine Area Command found the man suspended over the water from the mooring line,' police told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. The 29-year-old was arrested after the line was lowered onto a police boat. He is charged with entering a 'cleared zone when not screened and cleared' and entering restricted land-side and water-side zones without authorization, police said. Authorities did not name the suspect. Video footage published by 9 News Sydney appears to show the man hanging onto one rope with his foot on another between the port and the Carnival Adventure ship while people look on. The ship – formerly Pacific Adventure – joined the Carnival Cruise Line fleet after parent company Carnival Corp. folded P&O Cruises Australia into the brand in March. Carnival referred USA TODAY's request for comment to police. Police declined to confirm the ship's name. Nathan Diller is a consumer travel reporter for USA TODAY based in Nashville.
