With last week's news that the Carnival Cruise company had signed a deal to park (or is it dock?) their ships at a new cruise terminal in Red Hook just settling in, Gothamist was struck by news about a NYC bound cruise ship that was forced to dock in South Carolina because a 70 foot wave hit it. The ship had done the Orlando-Miami-Bahamas trip, but bad weather damaged its hull on the way back to NYC. Also freaky: The Coast Guard says "All the passengers had donned personal flotation devices as a precaution."
The City hopes that creating the Brooklyn cruise terminal will help relieve the crowding at Manhattan terminal; there are $150 million plans to renovate the current NY Passenger Ship Terminal.

Are we sure this isn't some promotion for the upcoming remake of 'The Posiden Adventure'.
See what happens when you ditch Manhattan?!?
On a different note. Since the upper west side piers are dying anyway, why not just let them go and maybe that will do something to alleviate the crowding once the stadium is built. You could incorporate them into the Hudson River Park or something.
Super large waves aren't that unusual.
