A Carnival cruise liner carrying about 200 passengers got ‘roughed up’ by angry waves on Wednesday (February 6) after it docked at the Ocho Rios Cruise Pier in St Ann.

Luckily, none of the passengers was hurt.

The rough seas resulted from poor weather conditions caused by a cold front currently impacting the island.
