SEATTLE — A cruise ship that struck an iceberg in Alaska has docked in Seattle for repairs.
The Norwegian Sun arrived in Seattle Thursday. It hit part of an iceberg on Saturday near Hubbard Glacier in Alaska.
The ship was turned around to Juneau, where it under went inspection. It was cleared to travel at lower speeds to Seattle by authorities.
A Nevada family who was onboard says the impact sounded like a loud door being slammed.

Benjamin Talbott was hanging out with family when his brother, Anthony Romo, noticed something in the water and told him to take out his phone. Talbott recorded as the cruise ship struck the big chunk of iceberg.
“Then all sudden, boom, the whole ship shakes. And I’m like, ‘Well, what’s going on?’ And then I had to start recording and I looked at the front of the ship and all I see is this an iceberg just turning over and coming down. And I was like, Oh my God, we hit an iceberg,” he said.
