    The idea of a rogue wave is so terrifying. They have machines that just kinda monitor random parts of open water and sometimes they pick up a giant 60+ foot swell that forms out of seemingly nothing. I could never be a deep sea fisherman or something because of that.

    Cruising the Antarctic is not the same as cruising the Caribbean or Mediterranean! Placing your feelings that all cruises are as dangerous as this is not founded. You are being ignorant to assume the Antarctic, Caribbean and Mediterranean are the same seas! The Antarctic passage is one of the most dangerous on earth if not the most dangerous! Even a crossing over the Pacific cannot compare to these waters. I’m getting a real kick from these comments on this video! Just shaking my head, I’m sorry if offending anyone but those who are making the negative comments are people just permitting their ignorance to show. I feel for the family of the passenger who has lost their life on what was probably their bucket list dream cruise. R.I.P

    Wife took me on my first cruise back in April. Sailed out of Los Angeles for Cabo, Mexico on Carnaval. Standing on my balcony at midnight to look down at the ocean and it was terrifying. Took our last cruise out of Port Canaveral Florida on Carnaval again for San Juan and Dominican Republic. Like the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean is terrifying but overall, both cruises were beautiful experiences.

      I wouldn't trust one of those cruise ships in anything more than a 8-10 foot sea myself. They have way too much glass, too close to the waterline to be considered a seaworthy open ocean vessel. They would do well to take your advice, although you know as well as I, that is not always possible.

    If this company connected to Viking cruises on Europeans waterways then because have had problems too?......Other ships have portholes that are many stories high before you have glass windows and I feel this ship is not suitable fot that southern ocean environmnet.........It's like the biiggest ships that travel between Florida and The Bahamas where they can't travel across oceans like The Pacific Ocean because they weren't designed for that........By the look of this ship it looks like it was designed for calmer waters. Rogue ways hit many ships travelling to Antartica but the ships mainly have portholes and if you want to view the scenery you have to go on the deck.

    • @TripReviews
      @TripReviews Рік тому +3

      The Viking Polaris and Octantis are sister ships designed and built for cruising the Antarctic during the Northern hemisphere’s winter and the Great Lakes in summer. There could have been a weak point in the ships shell to allow this to happen. We don’t know as we are not ship building engineers. This is one of the roughest seas on earth and mariners throughout history have not survived this passage. A rouge wave could be disastrous to any ship. Those who say this is why they don’t cruise are just depriving themselves, cruising the Mediterranean and the Caribbean is nothing close to the conditions in the Antarctic., don’t go imagining things.

    @douglasthompson2740 Рік тому

    Another example of how unseaworthy these modern cruise ships are. Big windows low down on the hull are as bad as the lifeboats being cocooned in the first deck totally inaccessible with any list. Their stability is totally dependent on their stabilizers. When they fail it doesn't take much of a storm to capsize them. Every year there are more cases, lightly reported, and the public is exposed to the danger most not knowing just how bad they are.
