Don’t worry, according to the cruise line director the party did not stop for a second and the New Jersey Champagne kept flowing! Bwah-buh-buh-BWAAAAHHHH

*Whale that sucks

☹️

It may well have already been dead. They’re performing a necroscopy.

I’m no marine biologist, but I’m guessing a small whale is plenty fast enough to dodge a gigantic cruise ship. They don’t exactly haul ass. OR, there was something terribly wrong with it so that it couldn’t get away.

I can see the headline now: Cruise ship loses no passengers; completes route on time
