A Coast Guard rescue crew has transported a woman from a cruise ship about eight miles off Point Lookout, Maryland, for medical attention.

The National Transportation Safety Board says a cruise ship returning from the Bahamas last year approached a Baltimore pier too quickly and at too steep an angle before it struck a gangway and caused nearly $2.1 million in damage.

A cruise ship that was docking in Baltimore on Sunday morning struck an elevated gangway, which then collapsed onto three parked vehicles, a cruise line spokeswoman said.

Two men returning to Baltimore after an international cruise on the Carnival Pride were arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on Sunday, after it was determined they had outstanding warrants for their arrest, CBP officials said Tuesday.

The massive Carnival Pride cruise liner docked at the Port of Baltimore just before sunrise Sunday for the first time in five months, ending a hiatus created when new air standards sent the ship looking for fresh digs.
