Clearly an accident, but cruise ships have several mechanisms in place to break it
This was clearly and accident but how scary this must be. One thing you should know though is that this is very rare. Cruise ships have several mechanisms in place to halt it from moving. They dropped the anchors, and used tug boats to stop it. The thing is that, a moving boat is a moving boat, it takes time to stop.
