The cruise ship appears to be backing away from her berth her hull swings up against the end of a dock and scrapes along. Then the video shows red smoke coming from the funnel, along with bits of debris - perhaps indicating the hull was breached and engines were affected.
This beast is registered at 227,000 tons, so that is a nasty little bump!

I think you got bamboozled my dude. The fire in the funnel is from a Carnival cruise ship in Grand Turk and is in no way related to the mooring incident the video is discussing.

Yeah, her funnels also look completely different if you look at a picture of her on google.
Interestingly enough, if you listen to the audio they even say that the ship didn't receive any significant damage and they make no comment on the funnel fire shown in the video. I honestly wonder why it is even in there.

Well, to make fools of old guys like me, obviously!
