The Sun-Sentinel is reporting that nearly 3,000 passengers and crew were forced to evacuate the Carnival Sensation in Port Canaveral due to a false bomb threat. Officials from the US Coast Guard and Brevard FL County Sheriff’s Office searched the ship for two hours before declaring the threat a hoax.
Based on a time line of the incident gathered from several sources, the bomb threat was received by the US Coast Guard shortly before 3PM with the ship evacuated not long afterwards. The sweep of the Sensation was completed around 5PM and the ship left on it’s scheduled itinerary around 8PM.
