Videos posted on Twitter and YouTube shows two Carnival Cruise Line ships colliding in Cozumel, Mexico.

A video published on YouTube on Friday shows the back end of the Carnival Glory approaching the front end of the Carnival Legend, which cuts through the Glory's rear windows.

According to Matthew Bruin, who uploaded a video of the incident on Twitter, the Carnival Glory nearly hit Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas ship as well.

Bruin uploaded the video on Friday and indicated the incident happened shortly before the video was published.

"We are assessing the damage but there are no issues that impact the seaworthiness of either ship," a Carnival representative said. "We have advised guests from both ships to enjoy their day ashore in Cozumel."

One passenger received a minor injury while evacuating one of the ship's dining rooms, the representative added.
