I see that Escape grounded leaving the new port in DR. I see that passengers were put off in the DR and sent home and the following cruise has been cancelled. Sounds like a bit more damage than is good occurred. It was under the control of the pilot but this is a brand new port just opened 2 or 3 months ago and I am sure not accustomed to the big behemoths. Apparently they encountered heavy winds which they say grounded her.

Im sure some maritime engineer is no longer employed...along with a underwater surveyor.

Looks like not enough research and/or intel. Sorry for the passengers. At least they’ll have a story to tell.
