Wow, they did a really good job of patching and painting the dent.

Oh I didn't mean people who were onboard at the time. I meant people who see headlines like "Disney Dream crashes in the Bahamas", or see pictures, especially before it was repainted.From most reports I've read, the passengers were unaware of it happening. I've read more than one report of people on their verandahs who didn't know they had hit anything.
Not negating what happened, but if people didn't even feel it, no real need to be skittish.
Omg, love this! LolI fixed it for ya!

I'm guessing they lost control from the pilot house. There appears to be nothing happening prop wash wise as they drift towards the pier. Then suddenly LOTS of prop wash from both main engines and stern thrusters. It could be 'ah **** or in nicer words 'loss of situational awareness' but there's a bunch of folks on the stern ready to handle lines .... I'm SURE they were telling the bridge what was happening .. foot by painful foot.
I've had similar happen to me. Once I was heading towards a still closed drawbridge and moved the throttle to stop, to slow and wait for the bridge to open. NOTHING HAPPENED and we continued at speed. PUCKER MOMENT ..... seems someone in the control room had pressed the button shifting control away from the bridge - it was a BOO BOO. It takes just a little time to switch back, but it also takes a little time to figure out what's wrong and in that time the ship - a BIG mass - continues to move. In my case I had room to maneuver and full rudder allowed me to do a 360 turn and stay away from the bridge until the situation was in hand.
Like I said, just a guess .... all it takes is for the wrong circuit breaker to choose just the wrong time to pop, or someone to press the wrong button and OOPS ....
ya could say they got off lucky
If you're gonna hit, aim for something FLAT .... corners hurt more ....
if they'd caught the corner they might have a gash rather than a dent.
