NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A barge struck a cruise ship Saturday on the Mississippi River, leaving a 30-foot gash on the ship and forcing the cancellation of a five-day cruise to the Caribbean.
There were no injuries reported on Carnival Cruise Lines' Fantasy ship or the barge, authorities and company officials said.
The barge collided with the river bank, then struck the port side of the cruise ship as it waited to dock, according to a statement from the cruise line.
