Storm Forces Two Cruise Ships To Wait Off Gloucester Coast

GLOUCESTER (CBS) -- Two cruise ships made their way into Ipswich Bay to wait out the weather off the coast of Gloucester Thursday.

Neither ship has anchored. Both were waiting for strong winds and 14-foot seas off Gloucester's coast to die down before continuing on their journeys.
