Cruise ship that was damaged in storm turns around again
![Royal Caribbean's latest cruise liner 'Anthem Of The Seas', the third largest ship in the world, arrives at the port of Bilbao during its maiden voyage, on April 26, 2015. The 'Anthem Of The Seas', a 4,905-passenger ship, is billed as the most technologically advanced cruise vessel ever. It boasts fast internet speeds, an all-digital check-in process, a skydiving simulator at sea and the first bumper cars at sea.

Royal Caribbean announced on Twitter on Saturday that the Anthem of the Seas ship would return to its home port in Bayonne, New Jersey, to "avoid a severe storm and provide guests with a comfortable journey back home."
The ship was damaged a day after it set sail on Feb. 6 when it encountered 30-foot waves and hurricane force winds. Its 4,500 passengers hunkered down for hours.
One passenger's lawsuit claims that people had to hold onto their beds to keep from falling and injuring themselves.
Representatives for the Miami-based cruise line have not responded to requests for comment on Sunday.
