Ship Accused of Squabbling with Sister Ship

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Docking at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Wednesday, an otherwise well-behaved cruise ship was accused of squabbling with her younger sister over who left a pair of binoculars back in the Dominican Republic.

Onlookers were stunned as the two siblings, BlueStar and Angel of the Sea, publicly resorted to bouts of name-calling and petty cat-fighting in a drawn-out tirade that is thought to have begun when the two were leaving the Caribbean.

“They seemed to be getting all fired up about something,” noted a local fishing boat. “At one point the bigger ship definitely splashed some water at her sister, who responded with a real loud blow on her horn. It was pretty ugly.”

Arguing their case earlier today, the ships each proceeded to blame the other for any wrongdoing.

“It was her who started it,” insisted Angel of the Sea, under duress from her captain. “She told me that I don’t know how to look after my shit, even though it was her who had the binoculars last.”

Meanwhile, the two ships have been warned over their behavior, with JustCruise.com – the sibblings’ long suffering mom – insisting that “if you guys don’t quit, you’ll be sent to the Baltic Sea without supper.”
