Yea that faceplant looked horrible, she was seeing stars the poor gal.

Just another reason to avoid these floating disasters IMO.
I have never had a desire to partake in these mega boat cruises. I know alot of people like them but I couldnt care less.

I was rolling laughing all through this video, the forklift at 7 or so thousand pounds flying around is plain scary.
Also love the videos where the water in the polls is waving back in forth and all over the floor. What a waste.

the way the forklift was being tossed around like a toy impressed me.

the last time the furniture slid from left to right, you can see a person in the middle of it at 57 seconds or so, lol. That had to hurt.

yeah that got me also, during the first scene i thought " yeah i bet i could hang on to something or just use my balance to be ok" but seeing that forklift being thrown around made me realise i'd be floating around like the other helpless guys:(

This is why you bolt down galley gear and rig chains for heavy seas!

Don't those cruise ships have stabalization to prevent this? Something must have gone wrong with the system.

Re: incredible footage inside a cruiseliner on heavy seas

The first (and last) cruise I went on had some of that.
8m swells 2 nights in a row..... pianos were flying around the bar- bolts let go

all night you'd hear crashing from different parts of the ship....in bed, your feet would be climbing climbing climbing climbing.... then like a teeter totter ....would feel like you are about to luge...pretty much standing on the foot rail....as you crashed down

then... climbing again....all night

the lady next door was puking loudly ....

my ex and I actually fell asleep, despite our being sure we would wake up in the ocean.

Each morning we'd spend an hour walking around looking at absolute carnage. Gift shop looked like it had been bombed.

No, the captain should've pointed it at 45 degrees to swell, like most of us do.:D:D:D

Re: incredible footage inside a cruiseliner on heavy seas

that video looked horrendous but if you watch in the first segment, there is a room just off the main ding area. upper right corner of screen the people never leave their table. it almost looks as if they continue to eat. LOL

that faceplant had to hurt.
