A statement from Holland America, which owns both the Oosterdam and Nieuw Amsterdam ships involved, says the ships rubbed against each other while docking stern to stern. Susan Carrusca, her mother and two friends had just sat down to breakfast on the Nieuw Amsterdam when she felt a jolt. “We could see the other ship, it looked like it was coming towards us. The Holland America statement says six stateroom verandas on the Nieuw Amsterdam were damaged and repairs were underway. It says all required repairs were well above the water line and seaworthiness of both ships wasn’t affected.
