Cruise passengers injured after stormy weather rocks boat

Saturday, 13 Dec, 2010 0

 

Not a good couple of weeks for Egypt. First its waters were closed following a deadly shark attack. Now cruise passengers are getting hurt as terrible weather buffets them around the port of Alexandria.
 
Some 30 passengers on the Royal Caribbean International ship Brilliance of the Seas were hurt (although none seriously) after a storm caused the ship to list dramatically at the weekend.
 
Such was the force of the weather that the ship had to be sent elsewhere because the port was shut so passengers ended up at Malta’s Valletta.
 
However, the normal itinerary of the 12-night cruise from Barcelona has now been resumed.
