The Harmony of the Seas smashed into the jetty in Falmouth, Jamaica.
Footage shows the enormous ship slamming into a concrete mooring pylon as the captain attempts to park next to it.
Guests on the mammoth ship could be heard screaming on impact as the concrete of the extended dock scraped along the liner’s stern side.
The collision caused mostly cosmetic damage to the vessel, including dents and paint scrapes, reported the Royal Caribbean Blog.
The accident happened last Thursday, at around 7am on May 26, while the ship was backing into its assigned spot at the dock.
‘There were no injuries to guests or crew and only minor cosmetic damage to the ship’s stern. The sailing will continue as scheduled,’ said Royal Caribbean in a statement.
The Royal Caribbean ship had set off on a seven-day cruise from Port Canaveral in Florida.
Cruise ships are normally tied next to the dock, but the Harmony of the Seas came into the dock at an odd angle.
Departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, on May 22, before visiting the capital city of The Bahamas, Nassau, on Monday, and private island destination CocoCay on Tuesday.
The ship was set to head to Labadee Haiti, another Royal Caribbean private island, on May 27, before arriving back in Flordia two days later.
The cruise takes passengers on seven-day round trips of the Caribbean with the cheapest rooms starting at £495 for an August 28, 2022 departure date, going to £702 for a room with a balcony and £1,542 for an en suite.
The liner is 1,188ft long – compared with 984ft for the Eiffel Tower — and 226,963 gross tonnes.
It cost £1billion to build and boasts 23 swimming pools, 17 decks, a 1,400 seater theatre and over 2,700 rooms to accommodate approximately 6,410 guests.
The largest cruise liner in the world by gross tonnage is the Wonder of the Seas, at 236,857 tonnes, around 10,000 more than Harmony.
