A Cruise Critic message board member, Merion_Mom, reported that two life boats were torn from their position along side the ship and struck the Promenade deck.
Additionally, some sea water penetrated damaged doors on deck 4 and there were some elevator outages for a short period of time. No injuries were reported and the ship is able to continue on its normal course.

The ship's captain indicated that despite the lifeboat damage, there are still enough space on the deployable life boats and rafts for all guests.
