The cruise line's CEO is promising an investigation, but CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg said the ships' captains may be in the clear.
"Suddenly, a 30 knot squall showed up at the most critical time of that particular maneuver and there was no way for that captain to recover," he said.
The Glory is based in New Orleans.
It's still not clear how long it'll take to fix the damage, but carnival said both ship are sea worthy and no cruises will be cancelled.
