\u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Mom, I thought this was going to be the best day, but this is just the worst day ever,’\u201d Olivia Rios Acu\u00f1a told ABC 7<\/a>. She booked the cruise because of her son\u2019s love of boats. After enjoying the ride on deck, the family prepared to dock.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext thing I know, I just heard a really loud noise and the whole boat shook,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said the boat struck the pier multiple times, breaking windows and causing a panic on board. Some passengers even fell, and one woman tumbled down the staircase.<\/p>\n

The boating company involved, Alcatraz City Cruises, said a mere \u201cdocking incident\u201d happened on Sunday without providing any specifics. KGO<\/p>\n

\u201cI was terrified. I was like, what on earth is going on? And then I was like, okay, who on earth is driving this boat?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

One woman thought the boat was going down. \u201cFor me, I was like, oh my god, we\u2019re gonna sink. I\u2019m not the best swimmer,\u201d Alcocer said.<\/p>\n

Passengers questioned the crew members\u2019 experience and nonchalant nature after the traumatic event.<\/p>\n
