A Carnival cruise ship was forced to turn round back to Galveston after a small girl fell down a flight of stairs.
A family was posing for photos by the stair rail when a three-year old girl fell from the 14th deck to the 12th deck and was rushed to the ship’s medical center for evaluation.
Then a decision was made to return to port to transport the girl to hospital.
The Carnival Liberty had departed just hours earlier.
The girl was initially knocked unconscious but a Carnival spokesperson said she was talking and alert when taken off the ship.
The ship has since resumed sailing on a five-night Western Caribbean cruise.
