Cruise ship on a rough day at sea video

I wonder why the captain didn't turn into it more. Imagine how much damage happened on that cruise! I wonder how many injuries and lawsuits?
 
Bet they were handing out the sea sick pills like candy. Another " hell of a day at sea sir "
 
Wow and I thought the Tasmanian sea was a bit rough.

Nice... I leave two weeks from tomorrow for a cruise to the Caribbean. Here's hoping for better weather and calmer seas!
 
And we're heading to Alaska via the "inside passage" this spring. Hmmmmmm ! :wow:
 
YIKES !!!, :smt101

I'd be kicking that Captain in the nutz, when we got to the next port of call.
 
I have often wondered why they are allowed to have so much loose furniture on board. All that crap crashing into you when you are knocked down, or in the case of the lady who face planted into the pole Knocked Out.
 
"or in the case of the lady who face planted into the pole Knocked Out" Wow, That looked like it hurt. That video has been around for quite a while but still amazing.
 
Ever stop to think about how many times cruise ships make the news with fires, groundings, people disappearing, massive outbreak of sickness, terriorits and now this!! These things look top heavy to begin with, why would a skipper get caught in heavy seas with todays knowledge of weather systems? I run my own "cruise ship" every weekend, it's called SEA RAY.
 
As someone who has been on many cruises, and will be on many more as they're a great time, there is certainly more to this story. Number one, although it may be a "cruise ship", it is about 1/3 the size of a typical cruise ship and is way to small to be in those seas. #2, I'm guessing by the way it's pitching it's stabilizers are not functioning, which also leads me to #3, I'd guess by looking at it and the way it's helplessly bobbing, it's dead in the water. Id never pay to go on a "cruise" on a boat that small. And the typical 1100' long ship I go on would need a LOT of wave action to look like that. Life is too short to worry about the what ifs. Just go enjoy yourself!! You're much more likely to have your plane crash getting to the port than you are to have what happened in the video happen to you!!

Amen to that!
 
Great points Shaun. Although I will never get on one, it's good to hear your "voice of reason". It's really hard to tell (for me) but it did look kind of small and it didn't seem to be moving forward.
 
This video is actually a composite of two different cruise ships in different storms. The exterior shots from the helicopter are the cruise ship Voyager off of Majorca. A wave had taken out the windows of the bridge and power to all four engines was lost. As Shaun said, this is a small cruise ship by modern standards. The video of the interior is the cruise ship Pacific Sun off of the coast of New Zealand in waves that broached the fifth level of the ship.
 
I wouldn't let a video like this stop me from a cruise. Many other factors do that. Mostly family and money.
