respect to gegard... he is hero to his own tribe and our nation. ( tribes are not race).
Back in 2010, we ran into the same problem on a cruise up the eastern US coast to New England when we got caught between the remnants of two hurricanes. Lasted about 8 hours and most people on board were sea sick. But we had a good captain who managed to maneuver the boat around the worst of it. Was definitely an experience I will never forget.
20 years on the Navy. Been through this many times, in destroyers and frigates. It can get really bumpy in those small ships.
Depends. When you're swinging from the bottom then the top of the ship will be closer to the centre of the swing.
Does anybody else here think that this happening on your cruise ship would be so exciting and romantic!
The dark abyss of the sea as the ship tilts and your porthole goes underwater and your whole cabin goes dark for several seconds! I might just have to plan a cruise during Hurricane season one day😁
Why would a captain endanger an entire cruise ship and go through a storm with winds up to 120 mph? Usually they see these storms on radar and go around.
Happened to our RC cruise ship 2 years ago, 5 rooms on deck 3 had windows broken in, it flooded the port side 3rd deck and flooded 40 or so rooms. I got out of bed after the bang from the windows breaking in the rooms across from us and our room was flooded. We were lucky we had an interior room. So it does happen on the older RC cruise ships dude, more often than they care to admit.
It wouldn't be any problem with the ship almost on it's side getting people calmly up on deck, loaded into lifeboats, and lowered 100 foot down to the ocean, in 100 mph winds with the ship being tossed around, it sounds like fun, but I like playing Russian roulette.
I watched the first 20 seconds of the video and was like "eh, not to bad" so I started to read through the comments. About a minute later I happened to look up and I was like "HOLY SHIT". I would have ran into the closet and began a slow and painful cry to death. I am not a water person at all. Water is the most destructive force on the planet. Props to y'all for not freaking out.
In 2004 I was caught up in this centuries worst storms. Hamburg to Harwich was going to take 18 hours it took us 39 hours. Everything was on the floor many people threw up. And many were crying. Everytime a big wave hit I could feel my bones vibrate. That was the last time I got onto a ship 😂
@Heidi D it's a little different on a bigger Navy vessel only because the bottoms are flatter. So we rock but, it's normal not that bad. Now my past deployment we hit a low pressure system in the mid Atlantic and we where taking like 50 foot swells head on. You definitely felt that no matter where you where on the ship. I slept like a baby that night, but after a while you get used to it, and learn to like it.
Try that weather on a Sumner class destroyer courtesy of the US Navy. Our main deck was 8-10 feet above the water. In this kind of storm the whole front of the ship would plow under a wave and then emerge out the other side of it so that from another ship you could see under it. This was routine on those ships. Oh and I forgot to mention the 40-50 degree rolls that occurred at the same time. Worse if we were low on fuel.
Oh wow! This is my first time seeing any footage from that day... I was actually on the Independence of the Seas for 70k Tons of Metal music cruise, a few miles behind you guys, when this happened. We caught the tail end of that hurricane and got some pretty good surf and side to side rocking ourselves. I went out on the 3rd level smoking deck around midnight to try to get some photos of the waves because they were crashing up almost to the railing! It was pretty insane.. It felt a bit wild and terrifying looking over the rail at the water, but I loved it!
Still.. we didn't get nearly the damage that the Anthem got, thankfully, but crew still had the pool deck and other areas closed off for safety since earlier in the day. One of our passenger's mother was actually on the Anthem, and I remember her being very very worried about her. When we got back to Fort L. we heard how bad the damage was, how some people got hurt, and our hearts went out to them. Just glad it wasnt way worse.. sometimes the ocean likes to remind us who's really boss!
I spent 21 years in the Navy and when we had weather like that I would sleep like a baby. I was on the smaller ships though and yes, even some sailors would get sea-sick.
I was on our honeymoon cruise just after a hurricane went thru and the hallway walk was very similar but would slam u back and forth. All u could do was lay in bed on your back, flat. People were puking all over.
After reading the comments, im surprised because of everyone who wouldn't enjoy that or has stated they're afraid. I thought it looked so cool, I could sit there and watch those waves for hours. I could fall asleep to that comfortably. But then again, I did spend 8 years in the Navy and I like to chase tornadoes, maybe that's why this video doesn't bother me, lol. That just looks like so much fun to me.
I think watching the view would be nice, but the ship rocking back and forth and basically not being able to walk without banging into a wall would not be very pleasant. I was on a carnival cruise and we hit rough waters - NOTHING like this - and it was the strangest feeling to walk around. I wore the patch for sea sickness and I was still dizzy.
This really isn't that bad. I used to work on a container ship for 9 months. You see some really rough seas there. We had the entire bow of the ship under water regularly with near 100ft swell. It's fun! This was just a light storm. The ships these days are built to with-stand a lot more that that.
I used to build ships, nothing is more scary than getting caught in a big storm on a test-drive, you are not 100% sure if everything in the ship is working as intended. Needless to say, I only took one test-drive, didn't want to join the others after that.
In my nihilist youth I worked on cruise ships in f&b.
Days like this were my favourite. Hardly any people to serve in the food and drink areas, as most of them were just hiding in their cabins throwing up and feeling miserable.
I did feel sorry for thee housekeeping staff though.
After embarking on a cruise, I wandered down to a lounge where the lovely young lady was singing (I crap you not) "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald." I put some money in her tip jar and made her knock on the wood of her piano, thereby likely saving the lives of all aboard.
I once had a super realistic dream where I was on some big ship that was in a sever storm with super huge waves that would probably take down the ship soon. I can remember thinking "Man I really want to be on land right now." and I had the desire to just be able to teleport out of what I felt was certain death. And the I woke up. Took me a second to get everything straight and understand that I'm actually perfectly safe on sweet dry land and I'll actually NOT die. It was such a relief cause that dream felt so insanely real. I could see the ocean, waves, the rain on the glass, I could feel the movement of the ship. Everything. And then Boom - you wake up and it's all just in your head. Insane.
Problem isn’t if the ship is big enough to handle it, most can. It’s when just one leg of the chair bends or breaks one realizes the safety backup plan suck.
Once a ship has leaned to far over 50% of lifeboats aren’t useable.
Sure they can offer helicopter rescue for when there’s typically over 3,000 passengers, you do the math.
Even when rescue boats are within a mile or so, they can’t really do any assistance or transfers in weather & sea conditions like these.
Until you watch a few sailing videos or cruise ships that recently got into terrible trouble one might not wish to go on a cruise ship anytime soon. Good Luck
I have taken 14 cruises, one was a 42 day transatlantic. We were met by good size storm in the middle of The Atlantic Ocean. We were on a mid size ship. It rocked and pitched like crazy. I had a window cabin and took video like you. Never felt scared, but did get sick to the stomach 😫; most of the crew did. Thank you for sharing.
I was in a similar storm off the coast of AK. It was night, so I didn't take pictures. I'm sure the seas were terrifying, but the sound was what really made an impression. Giant waves hitting the bull made a sound like the bottom was being torn out of the ship.
I am pretty tough and brave but that's a hard no. I was once on a long ferry crossing in a huge storm and though after three hours it was only me and a lorry driver still standing, it scared me for life. Even the crew were collapsed! People collapsed up staircases, along corridors, a buggy with a screaming toddler in rolling up and down a function room. I never saw anything like it, people seemed to be unconscious. It looked like a disaster zone and the ferry kept making terrifying loud crack noises in the middle.
I wasn't sick once. I had a baby in a baby carrier and my little boy. I got us to the middle of the ship to help with the motion but those cracking sounds were terrible there!
Another family were there too, huddled in a circle together, holding each other and singing 'kumbyah'. And there we stayed for six bloody hours, next to them, me holding my little ones and telling them everything is ok.
We paid a lot of money for that hellish experience!!!
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
O Trinity of love and pow'r,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
These ships are built to withstand high seas and winds. There would be ships sinking daily around the world if they weren't. When was the last time you heard about a rogue wave flipping a ship over? It's can happen, but it's rare. However, when I was 14 my grandparents took me on a long cruise (really boring and really exciting...if you've been on a long cruise you know what I mean) that went around the Southern most point in South America (Cape Horn) on the QE2. It was a stunning ship, but not once did anyone warn us about how rough the seas might get. Going around Cape Horn late at night, we hit a hurricane and the waves were washing over the bow as I watched from the enclosed observation deck. The ship felt like it was on a see-saw, then waves were hitting the sides so hard the ship was leaning side to side. People were freaking out, barfing, running and holding on to anything they could. The staff was mostly calm, but you could tell they were scared shitless. I really though the ship would flip or sink at one end. How I managed to just remain calm is beyond me. To make matters worse, the night before I left for the cruise, the movie "Titanic" was on HBO and it freaked me out. Of course everyone told me I was being silly to be worried....yeah, right. I have a speedboat and go sailing with friends, but I will never go on another ship so far from land.
Man the power of the ocean is insane. Could you imagine living hundreds of years ago and just sailing into the unknown not knowing if you’ll ever find land. Absolutely nuts..
There is nothing more frighting than being out on the ocean during bad weather like this. I did a tour on an aircraft carrier up in the North Atlantic in the Bering Sea. 15 to 25 foot waves, high wind and a cloud cover at 1500'. The sea is an ugly shade of green and the wind would tear off the whitecaps to send droplets horizontal through the air. It tossed that aircraft carrier around like an empty beer barrel at an Irish wake. The lookouts were pulled in. And if you know anything about the USN, the watch standers on lookout duty are the eyes and ears of the captain and for them to pull them in requires dire circumstances indeed. Just an evil feeling being out there.
Calling BS, Bering Sea in the Pacific. And radar and sonar are the eyes and ears of the fleet.
The only passengers who aren't sick are the ones down below in the cheaper cabins. It's some times good not to have a lot of money. ( sometimes).
I once went on a cruise on a line called The Big Red Boat. I proceeded to make some huge, early life mistakes.
-First mistake...look at pictures of said boat before going. If they claim it's big, and it looks like a Tonka toy, they just have size issues. We pulled into port in Nassau, and the people on the Carnival boat, parked next to us, were literally laughing at our boat as we pulled in.
-Second mistake. Check the weather before you leave. Yes, you're going to another country, but you know what...weather reports are available all over the world now!
-Third mistake, cheaper is NOT better no matter what when you're on a 5 thousand ton (have no idea what it weighed but started to care while at sea) death trap on the sea.
-Fourth mistake...If the crew tells you that El Nino is coming, ask them what the hell that means.
-Fifth mistake...When you go to the formal dinner, and they tell you they're only serving soup and crackers because nausea will be setting in soon, ask questions. Don't get up and walk to the buffet and get left over sea food.
-Sixth mistake...Bring duct tape! Actually, do this everywhere you go for the rest of your life as a general rule. When you go on a cruise that has big waves, you'll eventually get stuck in your tiny room. Most of the room has drawers and closets that have no latches. When you're vomiting constantly, the last thing you want to hear is drawers and closets slamming shut every 3 seconds, in a violent way. Duct tape would have instantly fixed the problem. Surprisingly, the ship was out of duct tape because they had already used 25 rolls sealing the bottom up before departure. It did hold and keep us afloat!
-7th mistake...Don't start a marriage on a little boat. You quickly learn things you may not want to know.
-8th mistake and most important one...I boarded a little boat and went on the freaking SEA with other people! Don't do that!
I used to work on a cruise ship and since I was on deck 4 without window I always wondered about the feeling when it's rough sea and it "plumbs" underwater, although I haven't considered those following moments when you're left into the darkness, spectacular and terrifying at the same time.
Did you also see the storm from the highest deck? It's quite of an experience to see the ship duelling up and down against 30 feet waves.
Thanks for posting this video!
I was on this cruise and was eating dinner while the waves covered the windows like in this video. Very surreal experience.
What’s amazing is that there are living creatures beneath those waves that call this home and it’s just another day for them.
Thank you for sharing! Was the ship not being tossed like the "lost" Minnow? (Gilligan's Island reference). lol Seriously, Mother Nature is very beautiful, yet very deadly at times.
I was on a cruise on the way to Alaska and me n my buds were playing sabaton music while crushing waves and it was amazing
I've been on a few of these cruises and slept like a baby through one of the toughest sea storms. The next day ppl were talking about how sick they were feeling and I was like, I feel great! The boat rocked me to sleep 😴
Now think about there is 3 levels below you that people live in as well. I was in the top tier but still under water when I worked on ships
Have been on the Anthem of the Seas on a cruise up the New England coast from New Jersey to Nova Scotia in October! Beautiful cruise in a beautiful ship!!!💖😀
Incredible video. Never seen a cruise liner in those kind of waves. Loved the humour in the video as well. I wonder though if the captain was in a state of panic or is this relatively normal?
Should have remained in port, they want to hurry home for the next load. Some cruises go great, some end in tragedy. Twelve degrees is a serious list. Kudos on your calmness. I would have raided the bar, and smoked in my room.
Good thing cruises offer free alcohol. Even though I don't normally drink, I would be as soon as the first wave that hit the window.
Thats pretty crazy. Guys laughing and the ships 3 decks below the surface in a Raging storm. Mother nature is in charge. That Ship while Massive could be turned over with a big enough wave. And this guy thinks its funny... I would be freaking out..
Been on 7 cruises in my life , and only 1 were I had weather like this... Actually probably worst. It was coming back from Honduras .
At that point you just accept that's the situation you're in and may as well enjoy the sight. These ships are much more durable and have so many safety systems in place so no biggie. Good for you guys on not over reacting.
You look so calm, I can't imagine how I would feel.
I remember a story my father told me many years ago, something that happened to him before WWII, while in The US Navy. In 1941 my father was aboard The USS Wasp (CV7) a United States Navy aircraft carrier that was commissioned in 1940 and lost in action in 1942.
The USS Wasp was caught in a violent Atlantic storm with waves so huge each one seemed like a solid mountain, a giant wall of water coming so fast it was as IF each wave was cresting and breaking directly under the hull of the carrier, allowing the carrier to then free-fall back to the surface, of course, that’s not what was happening but he said it was so violent it sure seemed that way. Also, from way below deck in their quarters, some men frozen with fear, hearing what sounded like bomb blasts, as the largest waves would break, then fall to the surface. That must have been terrifying.
My father joined the United States Navy in 1939, before WWII, while serving aboard The USS Wasp he ruptured his eardrum, receiving a medical discharge from the navy. Then in early 1942, in the wake of Pearl Harbor, he joined the United States Army serving all over Europe until the war ended in 1945, coming home in 1946.
Tristan - ALL twin (or multi-) engined aircraft have to be able to fly on just the one (as part of airframe licencing requirements). The problem is failure on take-off, and there have been a large number of fatal accidents resulting from single engine out situations. Whilst no twin set-up has a zero accident rate in such situations, the Beechcraft Baron does have a certain reputation. For heavy commercial flying at "normal" cruising altitude you may well have 2 or so hours of useable range if all engines fail, however those of us who fly the "smaller stuff" tend to have only a few minutes of decision time so it's usually a case of "find somewhere to land within 20 degrees left or right of present course" :-)
i've experienced this before going to alaska and i love the fact they were enjoying it because it actually is so fascinating seeing it with your own eyes
You've never been on a boat in a storm huh? It's a bit different than sitting on the porch watching. The only thing being drunk would do for you is that you would be so motion sick, you would be begging for it to stop. Sea sick is one of the worst kinds of sick you can ever be. Those guys in the video were laughing and having a good time but I would be willing to bet they were nervous and scared.
