#Cruise #Weather #News
A couple of things- 1. My in laws and some of my husbands family were on this ship during the storm. From their point of view- there were announcements made from the cruise director to keep everyone informed and calm durning the storm. 2. My husband has a ship tracker on his phone and you can CLEARLY see where the captain tried to go around the storm but it was too big and just had to try to get people back to safety. I say THANK YOU to the captain and the crew for doing what it took to bring my family back home safe 🤍
I figured as much. Ships never want to go through the storms, they always avoid them when they can, but it just isn't possible every time.
@@Big_munkino one fact checks, just a quick video for views. Media at its absolutely worst and unfortunately the norm.
@@KirsNJ right, they would pick the typical, angry looking feminist to lie on national tv🙄. Sickening.
Not too mention that storm was nothing for that class of ship. Sure it got bumpy and some carpets got wet but that’s about it.
@@Big_munki - she's setting up the narrative for a class action lawsuit. Anyone with phone footage that has those announcements caught on them should start publishing them online to hijack(see what I did there?) the grifters.
To the lady who complained in the video that it felt as if they were at the mercy of the captain and crew to navigate the storm for them, you are correct. That is how it works.
Imagine putting your life in the hands of someone who’s been trained to do something you don’t know how to do, gets paid well for it, and does it every day. Decade after decade. The horrors!
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin Thank goodness for secretaries
I wonder if when she got home she sat outside because she was scared her house may collapse. I mean if she went inside her life would be at the mercy of the architect and contractors who built it🤦♂️
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofinuh that's what happens every time your on a plane
I have an easy solution for people who don't want to be at the mercy of the ocean & the captain of a cruise ship. In fact, my solution will probably save them thousands of dollars as well.
This lady is unbelievable. The captain and crew were fantastic. What do you expect when you're on the ocean? Blue skies and a calm sea are not guaranteed.
Ikr what a Karen I can’t even believe this is news
She seems like a terrible person to know 😂
She expected a champagne cruise on a beer can budget.
Right? Lol I been on multiple cruises where there were heavy rain and strong winds. There’s nothing you can really do
@@jaycasado5029 right especially a huge boat like that. I swear this reminds me of a letter my friend got from a tourist cause she works at city hall she post it every year cause it’s so ridiculous the person complained the walk was too long to the beach and bout biting flies that we unfortunately get under certain conditions not often but it happens cause you know it’s the beach & it’s wildlife and we can control nature and a bunch of other ridiculous things. Ppl just like to complain
As a sailor, I have to say. In an emergency, there is only focus. There is no room to make you feel OK. Hats off to that captain!! Good job! 🫡
Pilots, sailors, bus drivers and train operators thanks for all you do. Passengers don't always get to make contact with the people responsible for operating the vehicle. In an emergency, I don't want Karen to be a distraction to the people trying to save lives.
Is it common for a captain to take his cruise ship through rough seas? I know they focus very heavily on keeping track of the weather and sea conditions.
Amen too that brother this folks need too remember they are in open sea it’s not always pleasure cruising
Problem is Carnival's Service. Around 200 employees and it only takes one to make a comfort announcement!
Problem is Carnival's Service. Around 200 employees and it only takes one to make a comfort announcement!
There is always a risk you take when you are on these cruises. The weather is not 100% predicted. The reason the captain didn’t come on to reassure you is because he was busy making sure you all would be docking and getting to the land safely. Be grateful you survived!
You are truly beautiful 😍 🌹
The caption did an awesome job getting home safe! He didn't communicate because he was focused on keeping the ship afloat battling the night and bashing waves!
How dare a cruise ship control the weather to make our experience worse.
😂
Right....thats exactly what I said. Its like going on a beach and having a typhoon land while youre there and blaming the resort. Entitled people!
This isn't about controlling the weather. It's about avoiding it, which is trivially easy with modern weather routing.
@@matteframeno it's not.
I thought, in the movie, the ship turned upside down! 🤢👍This ending was not very climactic!
Glad to see the comment section coming together in support of the Captain and Crew. Kudos to everyone getting the passengers home safely.
Lol fk the captain
Just ridiculous blaming the captain and crew for a storm.
Sound like a sea roller coaster experience 😂
@@BBoyd-ce2yy i don’t know maybe because they refused to go around it ? Refused to stay in the port on more day to miss the storm ? Of course is the captain’s fault . The captain and that stupid company he works for
@@Jack_The_Ripper_Here Stay in what Port? They were at Sea, on the Ocean and had been for days. Storm blew up as they do, Ship tracked changing directions multiple times and nowhere to go. Storm wasn't even bad, a few gusts reached 70+ and at no time was it sustained wind speed. No serious damage to Ship, nobody hurt, after getting to port a few hrs late they here able turn around and start new cruise in less time then usual
Great job by the Captain and crew for getting everyone home safely. Rough sea weather is a chance you take when you embark on a cruise. I was on a voyage and got caught in a tropical storm off the coast of South Carolina several years ago. It was very much like the conditions they were describing. I trusted the professionals to do their job and made the best of it. Got everyone back to port safe and sound then as well.
People should know they can't control the weather
People don't cruise Carnival.
no but they didnt have to go into the storm and they handled it terribly
@Stu West I can confirm I went on carnival and I'm not a person
@@frenzobloxroblox1003 - Hehe. Very nice. No biggie. "Persons" are overrated.
True but that's is why the have radar to see and avoid those storms so they don't have to.
Did anyone notice how the Captain did an amazing job to bring all the passengers back safe and the ship intact? The crew did everything they could to keep the ship afloat during a storm... I'm sure those on The Bridge had to concentrate and focus on navigating the ship during an extreme storm versus worrying about what to say to the passengers at the moment.
A good captain knows to head back away from storm. Irresponsible.
My dad was a captain
He once said, what the heck did this other captain go out to and into that.
@@audreydaleski1067
Maybe you should find out what the captain has to say before you assume that he did something wrong. I got a feeling that lady knows as much about navigating a storm on a cruise ship as she does about flying a space ship. More likely, she's kicking up a fuss to get a refund on her trip ticket.
The Capt. is the one person who could have avoided this. Just because they survived doesn't mean it was a good idea.
Kudos to the Capt. & Crew. Lady, nobody cares if your feelings were hurt but I'm glad you're physically safe!
I am sure she couldn’t wait to book her next cruise!
There is always one person who has to be so dramatic.... After sailing for 17 years as a crew member, I've learned that you always trust the Captain and his crew to do the right thing. If there's no danger to the ship, guests or crew, then no announcements will be made. Let the Captain steer the ship safely back to port!
Great job team!
Great point- you sailed for seventeen years? WOW! Kimberly
Oh, that's a bunch of BS!! You have 2000 paying frightened passengers AND YOU SAY NOTHING AND THEIR SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT??? Saying, "Hey, this is your Captain, everything is going to be fine. We may be silent but that just means we're hard at work up here getting us home safely. In this case, no news REALLY MEANS good news." There would have been a collective sigh of relief instead of endless speculation and anxiety. The silence WAS UNACCEPTABLE!
She said they was flying around in the ship 😂😂
@@zariballardwow, using a sledgehammer to hit a fly is rarely useful.
@@SusanKay-😂😂
you always have the one that likes her social media time . . . kudos to the captain for bringing passengers back safely.
🤣
Honestly, this is some real Biden Voter level #$*&^. The weather is bad, and it's all about HER, LOLOLOL.
I feel like none of this went how she expected it to…haha! We can all see she’s just a Karen!
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 this is trump's fault
"KARENs" everywhere you go!
My husband and I have cruised several times and hit two horrible storms, we were told we hit 19 foot waves in one and high winds, so they closed off the top deck for most of the trip. The captain kept us up to date occasionally, but we were never worried. It was a big ship and she handled it great. Sure our feet lifted out from under us a couple times, but we were in a storm, we held onto hand rails and were careful. The crew and captain did their jobs.
Whoa that almost sounds like common sense. 😮
That happened on my first and last cruise. I was running up the stairwell, flew and fell UP the steps. I ran straight to my room, back my phone and passport on my body and slept during the storm.
Anger at what? They got a storm, they got through safe. Kudos to the captain and crew.
Anger at the captain & crew for a) putting their lives at risk by sailing directly into a storm and also b) financially scamming them by charging them many thousands of dollars for a "cruise" which wasn't actually one.
You don't think the captain is aware he sailing into a storm that size? lol
"Sailing directly into a storm"
So nice to see so many experts on navigation/route procedures coming together to defend Karens screeching about bad weather 😂
Basically, they should have just docked and not have taken the risk, regardless of the financial loss of not getting the next passengers on board and having to cancel.
To quote the great philosopher Leslie Chow: "But did you die?"
I just want to say I’m HAPPY to see everyone giving credit to where credit is due, the captain did an amazing job getting everyone home and safe. “We dIdNt hEaR fRoM ThE cApTaIN” I wonder what he could have been doing Sherlock 🤦🏽♀️ Nature did something called “nature”
Perhaps nature was a bit to soft on those passengers.
Yeah, but that is only because Carnival paid them to do it.
@@sdigf3167 that's funny coming from someone posting the same bs on multiple posts.
🤣
@@nashtruckerlol
"Now with Ollie for the weather. Ollie?"
"THE OCEAN SCARY!!!"
"Thanks Ollie."
Yup, nature gonna do what nature gonna do. You take that risk. Hats off to the captain for keeping them all alive. Be grateful you didn't sink.
Amen!!
no he went right into the storm that is the issue
The captain was reckless. We didn't have to sail into the storm.
I agree. They should know they are ON the ocean and the weather can be unpredictable at times. Like everyone else said be blessed they are alive due to captian doing their job!
@@chrisyoungblood721 He was not reckless, he had a BIG storm between him and port, so he went through it in a ship that is built to do that sort of thing.
Here's a better story: "Cruise Captain Battles through Storm for 12 Hours. Passengers Make It Home Safe." Great job, Captain!
Agreed!
Amen.
Good to see so many taking side with the hard working crew who got everybody safe back home.
Imagine being mad about mother nature and acting like it's the captains fault that he can't control the weather
The only thing though is that the crew should have had ample time to know what was coming and to avoid it, but they didn't.
Imagine being angry about not being informed and having a Captain that sails through a storm to make port to pick up the next group of cattle instead of taking care of the group he has.
Karens being kaarens about the a storm🤣🤣🤣
@@F_YT2023 Please stop being a Karen....
SO GLAD TO SEE CREW SUPPORT! Echoing all the positive comments.
People are so privileged these days. Going on a cruise on the Atlantic and getting upset because weather. I mean who knew there could be weather outside right lady?! Sheesh, kudos to the captain and crew for getting them all back to port safely.
Another whiny person feeling entitled. Get used to it. With climate change accelerating I wouldn't consider an ocean voyage and certainly not investing in companies that will be left without a viable product.
Ikr? Some people are terribly entitled.
Don't be ridiculous with your comment. Passengers were not upset because they cruised through a storm. There should've been an announcement of some sort alerting the passengers that they were traveling through a rough storm and some general safety instructions like "remain in your room", etc. The passengers got nothing from the captain and crew. It's the same situation as when you're flying and the plane is going to hit some turbulence. The pilot will inform the passengers of the situation and asks everyone to remain seated and buckled up.
@@3l3llala13 wah wah wah, if they actually knew about those ships they wouldn't have even been worried. Been on them a bunch and twice hit bad storms, it was more fun and exciting than anything. The crew also have responsibilities as well, especially in a situation like that. Nothing to see here...
@@3l3llala13 Read the comments. There are a suspicious number that are very similar, and they all praise the captain. I suspect Carnival is doing damage control in the comments.
It couldn’t be a network news story unless someone was outraged.
As a former crew member, usually captains might try to divert and be even later than they were, and i can assure the same lady would've been 'why did we do this, we're on a ship, nothing major will happen'. You cant win when people are on holiday and they leave their common sense at the bottom of the gangway.
We took a cruise in 2005. That was the year of all the hurricanes, seemingly one right after another. We sailed in some really rough seas. More than once, the ship pitched up and slammed down in the waves. Those seas lasted at least 36 hours. The wind was so strong that the ship was listing so severely we had to hang onto the the railing to stay upright. Was I scared, yep. Did I make it to make my destination, safely, yep. That wasn’t happenstance. That was a captain and crew focused on sailing a ship in rough seas!
No excuse for not comforting the Guest
@@methatlovescats3602 because they’re busy doing their jobs. Does the pilot talk to the passengers on a plane when they’re in a storm or turbulence.
This is one woman’s account. I’m sure there were communications from the staff it just wasn’t up to this women’s standards.
This is why I don’t fly or go on cruises these are the risks you take.
@@methatlovescats3602 are you serious?
@@AndrewGreenaway pilots actually warn passengers of turbulence and to remain seated with their seatbelts on.
@@deathbysnusnu7546 yes, but they don't provide a play-by-play which I feel like is what the lady in the video wanted
I was on a carnival cruise when i was 12 back in 2002, and we were 90 miles away from the eye of a hurricane. I just remember people panicking puke everywhere and me and my brother loving the huge waves. We made it home safe and sound.
This captain and crew did a great job getting all passengers safely to port with no one lost at sea. ❤
Outraged? A storm at sea is an OBVIOUS risk of going on a cruise...
Do remember that in hurricanes these ships are moved out to sea and away from land and harbor facilities.
Outraged? LOL you are on a SHIP on the ocean!
Cheers to the captain and crew! Nobody died!
That is the most important thing. Tell the passengers to strap in and hold on. This will be a ride you will never forget.
i think it would be fun to sail through a storm.
@@kountrygunz2032 yeah until the lights go out and your quarters begin filling with ice cold sea water
Nope. He/she gets nothing until a full investigation is completed. If the captain knew about that storm before leaving port (and should have, IMO) they should've stayed until it was safe enough to pass through if it wasn't possible to go around it. And Carnival's response sounds like "welp nothing to see here we're already back out to sea, byeee" BS. That quick turnaround to keep that ship in operation gets a permanent side eye from me. Won't be taking cruises with them ever again.
Unfortunately yes.
I’m bothered by the story title. Could’ve been: Amazing captain saved hundreds on board.
You’re in an ocean. Things happen. When you drive through a storm. Things happen. When you fly through a storm. Things happen. Weather changes a lot in 5 days.
Weather can change in 5 minutes.
People are crazy. That Captain and Crew did a phenomenal job. Thank God and them for guiding you home!
You're foolish. The captain should never have sailed into that storm. It was negligent.
The captain or crew should've been on the loudspeaker informing the passengers of the situation and provided some general safety tips like "stay in your room", "do no wander around the deck", etc. The staff failed the passengers in that aspect.
Biden voters have been known to be strong and defiant in the face of storms!
Oh no, there are waves and wind on the ocean. Save us with an announcement Jesus. Save us.
Well, negligence depends on if they could of avoided it or not. And they should of communicated with the passengers. I was in the Marines and have experienced some rough seas but that is different, they have a large enough crew, they should of at least kept guiding and informing passengers via PA to keep them calm.
My best friend worked on ships for years and some of the video she sent me of storms was terrifying, those passengers are fortunate they had a dedicated well trained captain and crew to see them through it.
"Rich people angry at the weather!"
It's Carnival Cruise lines.
Well, people anyway.
What a poor person thing to say..
Idt Carnival is full of Ritchie Rich types, you can get on there for about $300 🤷🏻♀️
Carnival is basically Greyhound of the Seas
Everyone made it safe back to the port! Let the captain do what he has to do to get through the storm. This lady is ridiculous
Hey, Karen-the-wannabe News person, are you serving cheese with that WHINE?
You are a Carnival paid bot.
@@sdigf3167 said the bot
Only thing I can think of scarier is being on a ship with that lady for 12 hours..
Outraged at the weather and that no one comforted her lol. It's a storm and you got home. I love carnivals message. The ship is already on its next trip lol
She wanted her hand held and for the captain to tucked her into bed.
my sister and her family are on that trip, and I hear they're having a ball!
@@terrymoorefield5918 I'm glad to hear that and thank you for sharing this information with us. 👍😊
Bottom line IS....the people on that cruise ship EVENTUALLY made it back safe and sound and now, they've all gone on about their lives
So they can book another cruise where they spend the whole time complaining to anyone who will listen about this one. 🙄
Imagine getting on a boat as an adult and not realizing your life is in the hands of the operator... hows that person made it this far?
Headline mentions passengers being outraged but she's the only one. Should be:
Cruise ship passenger outraged.
Karen, angry at Mother Nature.
Everybody else…grateful to be alive. The squeaky wheel trying to get a refund or free cruise.
hahahaha. Right, I expected a few more passengers to have something to. add.
@@askew9976 lol she's in for a treat in 20yrs'ish.
😂😂😂
What, exactly, did they expect the captain and crew to do about the weather? It's a risk that you accept whenever you get onboard a boat.
I guess they should have parked the boat.
Exactly! Just look at what happened to Gilligan and The Skipper with their crew. It started out as a 3 hour tour...rofl!
All they had to do was chill for about a day,and it would have been calm seas all the way in.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894
A boat parking lot in the middle of the ocean ... that sounds like a Far Side cartoon.
@@SusanKay- That’s OK, Thurston Howell the Third and Lovey probably had enough alcohol to keep them in martinis no matter how long they had to stay on the island. Lol! See, you and I are the kind of people who could get through something like that because we have a sense of humor. I feel so sorry for people who don’t. May you be bestowed many blessings, for goodwill and great personality!
I don't understand why people go on cruises ... Between contagious diseases, physical attacks (including rapes and murder), weather threats, and BS Third-World insurance coverage ... etc. ... Any cruise is not even a consideration.
River cruises aren’t like that.
That female is the typical Carnival Cruise passenger. She knows nothing of ANYTHING that just happened the last 12 hours but feels entitled to chastise the crew and company for her discomfort.
She probably has zero knowledge of weather either.
I love carnival and i would never act this way 😂
I would wager her name is Karen, if not, then it is now!
People go out for a cruise on the ocean and then are surprised to find out that weather occurs in the ocean as well
They're mad at the cruise company because of a storm.... the entitlement is unbelievable.
Nothing but another day at sea for me.....I was in the Navy for years. I saw waves hit the top front of the flight deck and break the chains holding down airplanes. A cruise boat suffering lol? Kudos to the captain by the way, good job.
This pain in the butt women should just be thankful she home and thank the Captain and the Crew
Would you rather that the ship sit still, and wait to sink?
I think they just wanted some updates and reassurance from the Captain just like if you are on a plane and headed into turbulence the captain will tell you what to expect and tell you to remain in your seats with your seat belts on. Given the duration of the storm and how there was flooding and things strewn about the ship, it seems totally appropriate.
@The Yiz and the Yatz Then it is amazing the Pilots manage to keep their passengers informed. And yet the boat captain could not.
@The Yiz and the Yatz exactly. The captain had much more pressing matters than people's feelings. I'd much rather him concentrated on getting everyone back alive and the boat afloat.
And I'm sure if they just sat there this same exact lady would be complaining that she was late to her destination.
News flash: The ocean is dangerous. In other news, the sky is blue and cows say "moo."
A heart lacking of gratitude is so ugly. The gifts one must cherish like life is more important.
Sometimes it's okay to silently sail through a storm and experience the miracle happening right in front of you.
The captain is a hero and made sure that he and the crew did all they could to make it safe for all.
This lady needs to read about the captain that communicated and still chose to abandon a ship full of students, who later drowned. She should be grateful she's alive.
That woman 😂🤣 sailed directly into the eye….right it’s real easy to go around. As a Navy veteran I can tell you ships leave port and go out into a Hurricane so the ships aren’t damaged in port. I feel so sorry for her for sailing blindly and having your life in somebody else’s hands. Isn’t it like that anytime you cruise, fly, etc rain or shine?
The eye of the storm is also the calmest.
@@Dominion.Intelligence yep but not according to the lady in the video…he sailed us directly into the eye
I think she will find the best trip for her is one where she drives an RV. Though, she wouldn't like the fact there would be other unruly road users out there.
I'm just wondering, maybe next time she cruises she should maybe consider taking a lifeboat to go around the storm. Would like to hear about that some time 😂
Shush. It’s a ship with limited options to avoid. The captain did not intentionally or neglect fully sail into the storm. Enough. No compensation for you.
Someone is looking for a payday. This news reporter should write a novel with all those descriptive words. Kudos to the captain and crew. Everyone made it home safely.
#kudoscaptain goes viral!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I bet you these people looking to be refunded even though the trip was on its home route.. crazy
If you're afraid of storms at sea, don't go to sea.
Difficult to believe that this has to be EXPLAINED to some people...
Reminds me of when they used to give out bags of peanuts on airplanes with the warning label "May Contain Peanuts".
Why would anyone want to take a cruise. I blame the customers. They are the stupid ones for thinking they will get a "relaxing" vacation on one of those floating death coffins.
The ship held well. No one got hurt.
Better angry than dead. The captain should be commended for getting the ship back safely. Honestly, I think the captain didn't want to make assurances because he had no way to know how events would unfold. It sounds like the storm churned up unexpectedly and unpredicted. If the captain had offered empty platitudes the passengers would be upset about that too.
💩 HAPPENS. 🌊🚢
Bot
Nah, unprofessional to not give guidance to the passengers.
Determining negligence depends on if they could of avoided it or not. And they should of communicated with the passengers. I was in the Marines and have experienced some rough seas but that is different, they have a large enough crew, they should of at least kept guiding and informing passengers via PA to keep them calm and maintain safety.
I see this having gone one of two ways. The first… was what exactly what they did, which was weather the storm because they knew they could handle it or second, they could have rerouted the whole cruise ship, and then these same people would been screaming mad that they didn’t get to the destinations they wanted to go to. either way they would’ve probably been complaining & also they can’t control nature.
Exactly!
Have to consider fresh supplies on board too, can go south quiiick without bread & tp. Even in 12hr time
I don't think you can blame The Cruise Company the ocean has been there for a long time. That's part of going to sea. You get used to it. Congratulations to the captain.

It's that simple, right?
Keep in mind the Captain is not trying to die ethier. Im sure he/she/they did the best they could so that ALL aboard could make it back.

When you get on any boat you must accept that weather may make your trip rough. That is life.
You also accept the decisions of the captain. His words and actions are absolute.
@@diffened Yes. His or her guidance and decisions kept them alive and got the ship to port safely.
After being in the Navy, I know the captain is usually more worried about keeping everybody safe then keeping everybody comfortable it’s not like they can control the weather either. Maybe they got caught up in a flash storm. Who knows you don’t know what they went through. It’s a ship.
She should just be grateful she's not in her final rest on the ocean floor.
To all the people scared...just stay home...you obviously cannot handle mother nature.
Where are the passengers thanking the crew for guiding that ship through a storm???
“Flying blind with your lives in somebody else’s hands”
You put that same trust in thousands of not millions of people daily without a thought.
Who grows/ cooks your food?
Who drives the bus or train on your commute?
Who is driving next to you in traffic?
Who makes your medication?
The list goes on.
It might have been nice for an announcement a couple of times.
But you knew you were on a ship in the ocean 🤦🏻
She looks too old to be talking like she did.
That's why smart people don't take any medications.
Exactly.
Dear Karen,
The captain and crew were busy doing their job. There was not time available to coddle you and tell you it’s gonna be okay. Not comfortable with that, do something else with your time off. Moral of the story, no one got hurt or died. Ship made it back safely.
Sincerely,
Experienced Cruiser
A little 'we will be okay ' would be nice, but the ship got everyone back safely, that's the main concern.
Sounds like the Captain did an outstanding job and got you guys safe to Port! 🎉
You can’t blame mother nature popping up out of nowhere you’re in the middle of the ocean ! That’s the chance you take when you’re on the boat.
I'm sure the captain was too busy trying to get through the storm to waste his time coddling the passengers.
And if he wasn't sure everything was gonna be ok, he did the right thing by not lying to the passengers, and telling them it was going to be ok.
Exactly!!!
Give that woman a soft ice cream cone and a voucher for Travel Lodge if she's angry at the ocean.
Typical cruise ship people. 😂
they're angry at the captain for not communicating. How stupid are you?
🤣😂😅👍
I bet her name is Karen.
so the cruise company is supposed to control the weather? no communication from the crew, how about the captain was busy ensuring their safety. wow.
That old lady spoke as if she doesnt know anything about ships. If you expected them to comfort you instead of being focused on getting you safely home, then thats on you. Please explain how it was safer to be stagnant in the middle of the ocean during a huge storm rather than heading home 🤦🏾♀️
Good job captain keeping everyone safe and not answering stupid questions from passengers, this saved their lives. People you can not control the weather and the storm came at the ship, not the other way around.
Don't play on the ocean if you can't take some waves
Looks like they picked up a “Karen” on their voyage
My family and I were on the Celebration in 1995 when we were hit by a hurricane off of Puerto Rico. Carnival does their best to keep all passengers safe. You can't outrun storms at sea. However the captain at the time kept all of us in communication with what was going on.
On a flight to Europe, we hit terrible turbulence for 3 hours. There was an initial announcement, then when we got to clear air, a second announcement 3 hours later. We all sat there with spilled drinks and food all over us, stuffing what was left of our meals and drinks either into our mouths or into the seat pockets. The crew was BUSY. But came with towels and helped clean garments and detritus later. I was just grateful to get to my destination.
17 ft swells on a cruise ship, that ain't nothing. Great job to the crew. Welcome to the open sea lady!
People must somehow be running out of things to be outraged about. Now weather outrages people?
She should stay home and watch TV reruns of LOVE BOAT, instead!
Probably gonna have to class action the Ocean. Better get some savvy New York lawyers on it!
1:10 - Must be an expert to know what a ship splitting in 2 sounds like. Did she not expect that her safety would be in the hands of a ship captain? Pro -Tip: don't sail Carnival.
That's the chance you take going on a cruise, it's not Carnivals fault. Any time you go out on the ocean expect anything to happen, weather can change quickly.
Typical Karen always complaing but could never do anything the captain did
the climate is changing, storms are getting more intense and unpredictable, and passengers blame the crew for ruining their cruise.
Could you imagine these people on a trip to mars.
"omg becky the trip was terrible, we didn't get to see anything and I got dust in my hair!"
😂
I usually don’t root for the storm.
Actually if you think about it the passengers are slightly responsible paying for an unnecessary giant ship to sail around just for fun and burning tons of oil while doing so releasing carbon dioxide which contributes to climate change. I know it’s a drop in the bucket but cumulatively it is our desire for largely unnecessary modern comforts (for example: cruise ships) that is driving climate change to a great degree
ah yes the “average cruise ship passenger tries not to have severe mental deficiency” challenge

Just came off Carnival Legend last month and we hit some bad weather in the same area. Ironically, I had a small reunion with three of my ex-navy buddies and their wives. My wife and one of the three other sailors got motion sickness among many others onboard. When you take a cruise, you need to have some degree of expectation that the weather could turn and make things miserable. For me, I have spent six of my eight years on the open sea so I understand and I know pretty much how to manage. The cruise still was successful.
I am reminded of a passage on a private yacht down the Pacific coast south of Ensenada. I told the other crew that I bought seasick meds if anyone wanted some and was promptly riddiculed. 7 days later only myself and one other remained seasick free. I still have the unopened box of tablets 5 years later. 😅
Honestly I think there’s truth to both sides here. The lady in the video does come off as a bit entitled and ungrateful, and of course it’s true that no one can control the weather and it sounds like the captain/crew did an incredible job. However, part of effective crisis management is keeping people informed so that they don’t panic. As other people have said, there are plenty of examples of emergency trained personnel keeping people informed and calm even under difficult circumstances. It’s part of the job, at least ideally, especially because when people start to freak out en masse it makes the situation worse. Also lol at the cruise company responding by saying “We are on our next cruise 🤖” Not much of an acknowledgement of what the passengers and crew went through.
Better read that tiny print on your ticket, it’s the WEATHER. You got back safe, sounds like the Capt. did a phenomenal job.
At least they got back safely. Honestly they should be grateful
Just one of the many reasons I have absolutely no desire to ever go on a cruise.
What did the passengers want the captain to do? Sing rain rain go away?
So passengers are upset that water, wind and rain disrupted a holiday that takes them through water, wind and rain.
This is why cruises are cheap during hurricane season.
People need to realize the before you set off into the ocean that there is a possibility of storms and rough seas. Those ships were designed to be able to be able to handle such circumstances. Excellent job captain for bringing everybody and the ship back safely. GLORY to GOD!😃
Nope. I read online that there never used to be storms ever and ancient Greek mariners had it easy every day. Homer and Verne were just yanking our chains. 😂
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin LOL Well, pardon my ignorance sir.
👍😁
Wow there’s vicious storms out in the sea , no way. I thought they were only on land.
Wait, the sea is real? I thought it was just scenery put there to make cruises look nice
🤣🤣
