terrifying footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harmony of the Seas, a 1,188-foot cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean, collided with a pier in Jamaica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cruise liner attempted to dock at the country&#8217;s busy northern shore port of Falmouth around 7 a.m. on Thursday but smashed into the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the ship approached the port, passengers could be heard screaming in a video that has received over 500,000 views on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh my God,&#8221; one woman can be heard saying in a video, while another passenger yells &#8220;Holy sh**.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Royal Caribbean, despite the terrifying accident, there were no injuries, but the ship did sustain some &#8220;cosmetic damage.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

are now recovering the broken elements, and we should be ready for the ships that arrive next week.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, the collision was caused by the harbor pilot&#8217;s
