I love how passengers that probably have little to no captain experience or an significant time on a ship can say that the Captain did the wrong thing... give me a break.
Ugh... My captain sailed through seas that came over the bow!! LOL! We could see what looked like the bow was under crispy blue water! LOL! We just kept going! Uhh yeah, lots of sailors got sick! I've crossed the Atlantic Ocean SIX times and our missions couldn't give a damn about bad weather!

A lot of passengers leave their common sense ashore when they go on cruises. I say the captain and crew did their jobs by keeping everyone safe.
Here's the thing: on cruise ships today, the captain, officers and even the shipping line generally try to avoid even remotely rough seas by any means necessary. Whether that entails going around it, staying in port and waiting it out, or canceling ports of call altogether. These vessels, unlike the great liners of yesteryear, are not built for harsh weather at all. That means when they encounter it, the ride is going to be anything but steady. And I laugh all the time when I hear it happens.

I went on a cruise in 1978 when I was only 17yrs old, and the swells were so high that it was terrifying. The ship was listing terribly, and I watched the curtains as they were becoming more horizontal than vertical… But that’s a normal part of being on the ocean, so not for one minute did I think this was the captains fault… I just assumed this was part and parcel of cruising the ocean, no matter what vehicle you use… They can blame nature and the unpredictability of storms and high seas, but not a Captain for goodness sake 🤷♀️
When you venture into the ocean you at the ocean’s mercy.
Like people who see a shark and can’t believe it.
Exactly.
Thank you for saying this! It’s a ship in the ocean and these things does happen. If the captain ran out of route and people missed their flights then it’s a whole new issue. You made it back to land safely. Sounds like the captain did his job!
There must have been a shortage of news stories on that day. It's Hurriciane season AND you're on a ship. 15+ cruises later & I absolutely LOVE cruising. We sailed after Matthew and there were some "rough" moments but still thoroughly enjoyed our vacation!
What? Did you even watch this? Some rough waters?? You can’t be a real person if you believe this… I would assume you are the cruise line trying to down play this!
Pretty funny to think how he expect a vessel to outrun a storm like it's a plane.
Not forgetting it's a passage back to her home port, perhaps hes looking for an extended cruise voyage citing the storm as a reason.
These are the same people who would complain about missing a port to avoid a storm.
he wants money
This is sailing folks , some days good and some days rough . Stay in hotels , stop tring to get free cruises .
Love how people are like that storm won't ever move towards us. It will open up heavens gate and let us through safely. You're on the ocean, you accept the risks of being on the ocean.
Exactly
Just part of the adventure. The captains do a remarkable job and do try to minimise the danger.
Wait. There’s water in the ocean!? And boats get wet?! 😂
Poor muffins. A whole day of that. What a horror show indeed! I've endured that and worse for over a week at times. It's the sea and you're on a ship and it's only a floating resort in the brochures.
You don't want to get knocked around? Stay the hell off the sea!
OMG...Ive just booked a cruise and your words will stay with me now...yep definitely a risk involved
the Sunshine does not hold 5,000 passengers! 3,006 but you have to allow for people to exaggerate a bit! ships sail in bad weather all the time as they run 365 days a year. TBH when you book a cruise check what season you are sailing in.
After the refit the sunshine holds around 4,000 including crew
They are DECKS not floors cabins not motel rooms. Dang city people
LAUGHS!!!!!!!!!
And ship not boat!
I was on that cruise. It was scary but we survived! Move on...
I also was on a ship at that time, our captain stated that the ship will take it, but the passengers are the ones that are stressed. From what our captain stated, the storm was too large for the Carnival to avoid it.
The horror story is having to ride on Carnival......
Exactly! 😂
We cruise Disney for the pleasant crew, no tragic situations, nice cabins and mediocre food.
My first time went on a cruise as scared as I was with Margaritaville.,it was a smooth ride. I heard lots of bad news about carnival cruise.. I will never go during hurricane season.. oh I we did not get sick on Margaritasville..
I've been on two with Royal Caribbean and they were fine. I don't really like cruises anymore because you can't spend enough time in port to get a feel for any real culture and in many countries the ports are in the worst parts of the country. I like to get out into the backwater/backwoods areas and see the sights.
@@bmphil3400 yes so true. I feel the same way. It boring to stay in a boat the whole time. Need to go places outside the boat. Totally agree with you..
I just got off the Carnival Glory from New Orleans to the Bahamas and it was smooooth sailing all the way through. We even caught a distant night time lightning show just about every night
OMG, a bottle of wine has fallen off a shelf! We're sinking! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
omg, big waves on a ship, how dare that captain
They had to keep going because of all the ENTITLED PEOPLE who COMPLAIN about being LATE! "But I have a plane to catch" "but my family is picking me up" "but I have to work next week" "but I " I I I I ME ME ME ME .
Just another day when you're "Haze gray and underway" in the US Navy
Absolutely! Just a day at the office for us sailors and former sailors. Just did Carnival last month and we hit some rough weather. My wife got sick along with other passengers. The seas can be difficult which is one of the risks when you sail. Folks need to consider that before taking cruises. Bring your Transderm Scop (motion sickness medicine) before you get on any boat or ship). Everyday ain't the Love Boat, I can promise you that. Thanks for sharing.
Remember my first night at sea after joining the Navy. Departed Long Beach for Japan and the next morning everyone was talking about the storm we went through, blue water coming over the main deck. I slept thru it. Months later I was in in a bar in Okinawa and the shore patrol came in and all sailors go back to their ship. A typhoon was coming and we were better off at sea, next morning there was a destroyer near us that looked more like a submarine going through the waves Seas can be rough.
You call this a storm That’s noth’n
Ha ha ha! Get a grip people!!! Take it easy
It always happens when the cruise ship are returning after a trip, it’s business as usual they have a schedule and must fulfill. The captains are trained for those types of storms. I happened to be on a cruise and I just started in the room until it was a bit safe to go out. I am talking about two days.😊
Having been in some small boats in nasty storms I learned if the crew isn't scared, relax. People get triggered by the smallest of things these days.
Wow it reminds me of the Carnival Cruise I took back in year of 2009 when I was cruising on the Carnival Triumph out of Florida. Seeing all this is the same thing happened to all the passengers as well, but Carnival did compensate everyone for a return cruise in the amount of 350.00, but that was my last cruise during hurricane season.
The carnival is a money making train. The captain probably was instructed by corporate to stick it out don’t say anything to the passengers until they give them the okay to say so and ride out the storm ⛈️. Plus I bet you when they got to dock… their maintenance team cleaned up the mess and switched out the crew for that one trip and there you go back to business as usual. I hope they get sued.
Have been on a cruise ship during a nasty storm that tossed us about the room. I understand why people feel the cruise director, or perhaps a junior bridge officer, should have made communications, but under those conditions, I expect the Captain to be on the bridge, handling his ship, not communicating.
Don't forget how RCCL Anthem of the Seas and Norwegian Breakaway sailed through worse storms a few years ago from New York. So if you wouldn't sail Carnival because of this, better stay away from RCCL and NCL.
The Norwegians don't care.....they come from Vikings. They have been doing much worse for 1500 years....
They WILL make their schedule hurricane or no hurricane......
These ships are designed to take on these kinds storms. The passengers are looking for a payday and they won't get one
5000 guest? Was it booked at 160% capacity?
lol
The Captain was acting on orders.
Looks like fun, stories for a life, he is right they had to get back to port, how long did it take to turn around for next cruise.
Came back on Carnival from Bahamas to Jacksonville 3 years ago in a similar storm. Captain advised everyone to go to cabins. Personally I enjoyed tge ride and never got sick but many did.
This why I never been on a cruise nor do I ever want to go on a cruise. Being at the mercy of the sea is just bone chilling.
I love the it. But don't want it
Ditto 🤙
Exactly same for me haven’t been before won’t ever go!
You *should* go on a cruise, it's perfectly safe.
But sure, if you find the above videos concerning you could use a ship *designed* to handle bad weather.
Like RMS Queen Mary 2 or even more so MS Roald Amundsen.
You drive every day being at the mercy of people on their phones and first time teenage drivers. Cruises are far safer and much more fun!
The boat was not in any danger. Anything to try and get a refund or a free cruise. The captain did nothing wrong here and there was a storm at sea big deal. Go get a drink and shut up
Woooowweeee i can't imagine how scary this was but hopefully not to many were injured.

Thanks for the cool reminder❣️
@@kathryncrawford7105 👍✌️
Oh no! Not the cigarettes and booze!
AND a bald mannequin 😅
I know! Lololol...😂
That would have been awesome I would have been outside
Really....OUTSIDE...AND BLOWN AWAY
You ll be fine, the big ship of cruises can withstand up to 300 miles per hour wind on the open sea. I have been in worse violent storm in the middle of the sea with lots smaller ship in indonesia. Same goes with airplane with the severe turbulence
Ships are slow, storms come up fast. Gives them a very memorable voyage.
Sailing on The Love Boat ❤
lols
I was in a fishing boat, 8-10 ft. seas. Even the Captain was losing was sick. We were all green. Never again!
We sail through that same storm on the mardi gras,it was rough. But we made it just fine. Simply don't go on a cruise not expecting to see rough seas.
We sailed through the southern part of Hurricane Katrina sailing from Galveston to Key West. Talk about a rough ride! It was bad...we all thought we were going to die, BUT it's made every subsequent cruise a cake walk...lol.
You people are over playing this. I was on the msc meraviglia going through the same storm. Going from Bahamas Going back to NY. Exact same time. They were just on a crappy ship line.
It's why I joined the Army not the Navy, this is why I'm not interested in cruse ships.
Yeah I was on the cruise when it happened was terrifying
You are traveling on a commercial ship, the cruise ship can handle that and much more. Next time take a sailboat cruise than you can complain
I was in super rough waves on Royal carribean. The windows in the dining room on level 6 were wet. No problem. I would never sail carnival. Most problems people post are on Carnival ships.
Were you on Harmony this past week?
So True about Carnival Ships 😂😂😂
@@LauraJdogmom a coworker of mine just go back from a cruise on the Harmony to Virgin Islands & Bahamas
OMG you are too funny😢😅 cruised on both RC and CCL had rough seas on both..
They got you to port and it looked like the shit has a lot of damage just be happy you are alive
I traveled through a hurricane as a kid, from the US to Europe. I dont remember much but do remember I was ill....
I’ve never gone on a cruise ship, never had the desire. To be confined on a ship with hundreds if not thousands of people , with no escape is to me just insane. I live very close to the Atlantic Ocean, I can hear the waves crash to shore from my deck & can walk to the local ocean beach & swim , ride the waves walk the shoreline or surf.
people would not have survived being on a Canadian destroyer in the early 80's... people were throw out of their bunks and could not go on the upper decks... we lost the main gun on the front of the destroyer, it was ripped totally off. if something broke loose on the upper decks some was sent out to secure it attached to a safety line so we did not lose them overboard, we did not flee but rode out the storm like true sailors.....obviously the ship was not sea ready and things were not properly secured and why did they not make a run to harbour to avoid the storm... they really messed up there;
Sunshine like the oldest and SMALLEST ship they have. (1996) Not that that's relevant but.... and its capacity is nowhere near 5000. Lol
Want a solution for this matter??? Don’t go on a cruise plain and simple!!
I have been in a BAAAAAAAD storm on
Lake Erie in the early 70's on our families
42 foot yacht. Waves 10 to 15 feet high.
Merciful JEHOVAH saved us. He used my dad and gave him the boating skill to pull us through. It was so BAD. My mom tied me and my older brother ( he was 13 , me 10 )down to a pole in the lower cabin, to keep us from getting tossed overboard. I did get one good look. It was scary.
My mom( still living and still sharp at 93 yo)
said my dad said" Jean just keep bring me coffee" I get a little emotional thinking about it. My dad wasn't the greatest, drinking, cussing ,womanizing, but he was spot on that day; mom assist too.
I really understand you brother . I still love boating. Storms on the water are NO JOKE.
What a wonderful memory to have of your family's love and support for one another!! Your dad sounds like a real trooper in all ways. Treasure that memory...it is priceless.
Wow what a story."Dad wasn't the greatest but spot on that day and mum assisted too"...that hit like a wave...
@@lawriefoster5587 Deep account(excuse the pun)
5000 people and one video used over and over
I was on that cruise 2019 too! Guess who’s never going back😉
I love it!
Go on a cruise they said. It will be fun they said. Right.
People really over stated this trip. I was on this cruise and yes it was scary but never did any of the employees treated us as non important. The captain did his job to the best of his ability and if he had stayed on the speaker talking to us and baby sat all the wimpy adults he couldn't have concentrated on keeping us safe. Myself and my sister in law went above his head and started praying and reading the Bible and let God have control. That's what we all should've been doing. So stop blaming the captain and start praising the Lord who had ot under control
I have never been on a cruise and never will. Nope! Thanks
Looks like fun. I would love to be on that cruise ship. Don't be a bunch of babies, just enjoy your Poseidon sea adventure. Bunch of complainers. Grandpa said those waves are nothing compared to Ocean storms he was in. You went on a Ship called Carnival and you had your ride now be satisfied.
Well said!!
Use the radar and avoid the weather
If you cant do the time , dont do the crime . Like wise if you cant take a little rough weather dont go on a ship .
Omg i have discounts from carnivals cruise lord idk if i want to go on there anymore
How do you rescue all these people during a storms.
I was on this ship back in the day when it was carnival destiny
Get over it it's a cruise ship..I was on the carnival Glory when we had ,25 foot waves no big deal.😢 OMG same thing happens on planes all the time.
If pax think they can do a better job of navigating, then go for it!
Where do they . PASSENGERS think they are. Your on the ocean. Gee
You roll the dice on the ocean.
I went on a cruise 30 yrs ago and had a blast, I just returned from Carnival magic and found out its all about money nowadays. Most time is spent in lines--Getting on the bus to ship, check in, waiting to board, food lines were nuts, getting off at piers, getting back on, packed elevators, food was ready at buffets only to have closed signs all about and a long line where the only open buffet. They heard you like cattle. But really how do you move and feed 4000 people.
This is the new reality. The storms are going to get too big for these ships to circumvent.
Its the Ocean ???
Anyone who goes to sea, be it on a cruise ship or some other commercial vessel, cannot be so ignorant to expect fair conditions 100% of the time.
The captain and senior officers, particularly on cruise ships, do everything they can to avoid storms. They are constantly updated on weather and sea conditions and have access to the latest weather forecast technology. Despite all that, huge storms can develop very quickly out at sea. Ships are very slow in comparison, usually less than 20kts at best speed. You can't outrun a storm that's 100 miles wide, sometimes many hundreds. Just batten down the hatches and head straight through it.
I sailed in 28 fit seas for two days. No biggie
Never will I ever go on a cruise ship!
I agree!
Someone tell him the sea is unpredictable!!
These people complain r like the people who fly and complain about turbulence. News flash u r in the middle of the ocean .
What happened to weather radar????
One cruise, last cruise
Good Lord people, you're on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean 🙄! Get a grip and enjoy the free adrenaline rush you didn't have to pay extra for!😂
In the Navy we called that a Thursday...
For those who are being critical of the passengers and defending the captain, I think that the passengers were afraid and rightfully so they are within their rights even if they took a chance to cruise. Just because there is a risk to cruising , flying or driving does not mean that precaution/safety measures should not be taken to minimize those risks. One of the complaints that a lot of passengers who were on this voyage have was that there was “no communication” from the captain or safety team for 14 hours. Even some crew members spoke out on how bad this was. It is a tough thing to be in a storm so horrific and had no communication. Maybe the captain did what he humanly could to keep them safe or maybe not. Not communicating to the passengers only make it more terrifying. Empathy on both sides is needed in this situation. You might view things differently if you were on board. Hopefully the Carnival will do an investigation to evaluate what happened and give an update. In most cases when there is a storm or hurricane approaching, the captain will reroute or stay put until it is gone or less impactful. I believe that this is a protocol for all cruise lines. I am curious to know how this was communicated and how it was perceived by the captain and the safety team before they approached the storm. Just glad that no lives were lost.
All this says to me is these passengers are looking for a quick payday and it's not gonna happen.
I specifically cruise hoping for a storm. It’s so exiting! The thrill is in the danger. The discomfort and seasickness is just a bonus.
Cant wait to ram an iceberg next.
What people expect you in the ocean. Anything can happen. That’s the risk we all have if we take a cruise for vacations. You can control Mother Nature
No one realizing the picture one it’s not safe to have a big ship docked and the big question knowing hotels are taking in locals that mite need a place to stay where rest of guest that ship brings in going go? SMH I mean a boat like that 101 don’t dock or the wave can smash the boat in to the docks.. knowing honest I rather be in a boat rather on land or worst be on land no where to go and be stuck out side in the storm…
As the great comedian Billy Connolly once said about cruises - "Prison with the option of drowning"
"A horror story from the high seas!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah, welcome to the ocean friends, where ship and storm meet on a frequent basis. Then again, this is also what happens when you're sailing on a floating tub and not an actual ship.
I've never been on a cruise ship but have been on a ship in general, the USNS Seay. One of four U.S. Army personnel to oversee and cleanup on our equipment and vehicles down in the cargo hold. Sailed from Antwarp Belgium to the Persian Gulf on my second tour in Iraq. Let me tell you, especially in the Med those waters are choppy and that's not with a storm. After sailing pass Somalia that's when we got hit with a storm. These idiot passengers don't understand a ship isn't like an airplane where it can fly around a storm. You're going to get hit with one and most of the time there's nothing you can do but go into it. 30 days out on the sea and storms come and goes. For a heavy cargo ship that ship rocked back and fourth on rough waters. And these people in the video crying about water splashing up on deck and ruining their cruise experience. Tough you don't like it then stay out of the sea.
If you think the captain could have "outran" the storm on that size vessel, you might not need to cruise.
The cruise I can imagine was a nightmare, when you experience this.I feel the Captain should have announced what he was going to do and explain it would be rough but the ship 🚢 would be ok Maybe that would have helped some.
A cruise is a cruise! You're on a mini Titanic, that too, can run into unexpected dangers.
The beauty of sailboats on the ocean is one thing, but!!,.. You couldn't pay me to take a cruise!
Strong winds and huge waves that lasted for hours? Try surviving a typhoon in the South China Sea on a 500 foot destroyer......for days. #Saltlife
That is why I keep my feet firmly on the ground.
I understand they were scared but I dont think I would be complaining about the Captains full attention being on getting the ship through the storm versus trying to make me feel better 🙄
Honestly who cares what these passengers think. I can guarantee you the captain knows better than these "Karens" looking for a cheap payday.
It’s funny the passengers are saying what the captain should of done lol. Sounds like everyone made it home. I think the captain did his job
I am glad that everyone is safe but I ain't go lie, I was thinking about the Titanic tho
There was a leak on a passenger Corredor...and a crew hallway that’s all they show and a gift shop. It wasn’t bad fun tho ! Are you guys profit over suing? It’s in your economy is so good luck.
LOL it was so dangerous but nobody got terribly hurt and the ship didn't sink. Maybe it's the people on the ship. Understandably I've been on ships in storms. But I don't fault the staff or chain of command. This is always a possibility when on a cruise.
Give them a damn REFUND
