Electrical Malfunction Causes Carnival Sunshine to List

After having sailed from Port Canaveral earlier in the evening on a five-night cruise, Carnival Sunshine listed markedly for one minute due to a “technical issue,” according to the line.

The incident caused lots of breakage as dishes and glassware slid off tables and shelves in the dining rooms and in bars. Bottles rolled around or broke in the shops. Passengers reported tables in the dining room sliding and less-experienced passengers panicking. Beyond looking like a mess, there didn't seem to be any damage.
