Royal Caribbean Cruise Faces 30 Ft Waves

Last year, a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship was forced to run back to New Jersey as it was on its way down to Port Canaveral, Florida. It faced a storm, with waves that reached as high as thirty feet. Some have categorized the waves as being rogue waves.

More details…

One crew member, a musician onboard the ship, took video of the incident and how the water was even reaching up to the window of the cabin he was in. Four people ended up with injuries during the storm and quite a bit of damage on the ship also happened. Others posted photographs of broken plant pots, toppled chairs and tables, and even a caved in ceiling. This must have been terrifying to passengers, as you’re stuck seemingly helpless on a boat at the mercy of mother nature. They were lucky to come out okay.
