Florida homeowners are questioning a cruise line's response after a Celebrity ship got too close for comfort to a portside home.Yasmine and Bill Todhunter said they're used to seeing ships pass their waterfront home, but the Celebrity Equinox was getting too close to their patio on Friday.
Bill Todhunter was seen in cellphone video trying to wave off the ship as Todhunter is heard yelling in the background. “This thing is coming to the house and I was really worried. I was worried about my husband. I was worried about my dog and I was worried about the house,” said Yasmine.
Celebrity's parent company Royal Caribbean said the ship and the captain did nothing wrong.In a statement, Royal Caribbean said: "As Equinox departed on Friday, March 3, she was in her assigned channel at all times under the guidance of specialized local port pilots. The ship operated safely and did not put guests or crew at risk. We can also confirm the ship did not touch bottom."
