A large cruise ship broke free from its moorings due to strong winds in Freeport, Bahamas on Wednesday.

A video of the cruise ship during the incident was posted to Facebook. According to the post:

The M/V Grand Celebration has broken her moorings in Freeport, Bahamas and is laying hard against the wharf at Freeport’s cruise terminal.

The NW Bahamas is currently under a severe weather warning with wind gusts in the 35-50kt range.

Update: Incident took place at approximately 1808UTC this afternoon. The Grand Celebration now appears to be safely moored in a different berth.
