So you are saying this must be a test sailing and the itinerary is simply the one of record. Could be.

The “experts” told us all the icebergs would be melted by now by global warming.

Oops.

The two sailings, due to depart on June 30 and July 5, were cancelled so repairs could be made to the ship, which was sailing to the Hubbard Glacier when it hit the ‘growler’ – an iceberg that has less than 3.3ft showing above the water line.

In a fog, in iceberg infested waters, one would think the ship would carry sonar to detect their approach on any icebergs. After all, if 90% of the iceberg is below the water, that 3 ft iceberg could still be close to 30 feet tall.
