A Norwegian Cruise Lines ship set to sail from Port Canaveral for a weeklong cruise has been canceled.

The Norwegian Escape was leaving Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic when the cruise line says the ship “made contact with the channel bed.”

Norwegian Cruise Lines is finally sailing from Port Canaveral this weekend.
