The Port Canaveral-based vessel that sails three-, four- and five-night itineraries did not suffer too much damage, according to a statement from the cruise line.

“A cargo vessel made contact with Mariner of the Seas while the ship was docked. No one was injured on board, and Mariner experienced minimal damage. The ship will continue on its itinerary as planned,” reads the statement.
