I love this family and their attitude! My kind of folks!! My husband and I have enjoyed 22 cruises and the worse experience we had was total power lost during evening meal. Our wonderful captain announced, ‘we are now aimlessly adrift in safe waters’! Loved it. We left dining area to go to our room where we had flashlights. I could tell people were getting anxious and hollowed out, ‘don’t worry unless you see Leonardo and Kate running’! We had just gotten to our room, fumbled around in the dark, found our flashlights and lights came on!! Loved it!!
He's seasoned! Some would say he's just an old man, BUT what they forget to acknowledge is that Grandpa has been thru some events in his lifetime that None of us could begin to handle, he's probably had to eat his meals in some unimaginable conditions, especially if he's a military man, so a lil rockin' on the deep blue sea is just guaranteeing he's gonna sleep goooood after this meal!💤🛌 💤 😁 Glad it wasn't any worse! That's one of my fears is for the weather to be Fine when we set sail, with no rain in sight, then BAM! Things get scary....I'm going to start off with an anxiety attack while I'm getting nauseated all the while tending and watching my son b-cuz he's 10X worse than me when it comes to motion sickness. He's so bad that he gets dizzy and sick looking where he's going while riding up front, cuz if he rides in the bk, it's a definite sick even looking out the window. 😧 I thought I heard one of the folks in the party say they were getting sick and wanted to go to the cabin. My Mom had to get a shot which knocked her out so she missed out on doing a few things but after the weather passed she was all better. That's gotta be a terrifying out there in those rough seas all alone with nothing but water, raging water in sight! ✋😣🙈 I'm chicken liver!😏 One day tho I'm going to take a cruise. One day🤞 😏⚜
I have both fear of motion and motion sickness. As long as I'm taking meclizine, the latter is ok and even the former is improved. I've been on eight cruises and only twice (about 12 hours each) did the ride get almost as bad as this video. In a worst case scenario, try to stay in lower levels of the ship, in the center of the ship (from fore to aft).
I agree, they all had a great sense of humor about the storm and motion of the ship. The one of the funniest things from it was (to paraphrase) "So, what do you think of the current situation?" "Well, the casino was only open for 2 hours due to some stupid regulation..."
This grandfather has humor! My grandfather died a week ago at the age of 101. I'm from The Netherlands, so was he, and in WW2 he was a soldier. First for the Germans when he applied at the Reichsschule in Valkenburg, and later on he deserted, got hunted by gestapo and then joined the Americans in the war. What a story right! Sorry for me blabbering on, but seeing this happy man, just made me think of him.
What an incredibly fun family!! Took everything in stride, eating cookies, making toilet jokes, one gal was knitting, another was gathering silverware, another wanted to do a conga line...loved the music interlude too!!
ABSOLUTELY this is a time that requires Xanax and definitely alcohol because if I'm going to go down like this in a cruise ship( WORST CASE SCENARIO I MEAN) then I don't want to be really conscience or awake for that but panicking and freaking out until i am forced to take my last breath before I'm completely submerged into water into an abyss of defeat. I totally would want to be knocked out for that and not know how much I suffred..just saying but I wonder if the ULTIMATE FEAR, SHOCK AND ADRENALINE would kick in and the two chemicals I ingested to meaning XANAX.and alcohol would possibly might not even work because of the shock and fear of what's happening
He's fought in wars! No way a storm is going to interrupt his dessert. Did anyone else notice that while the water goblets and silverware were sliding down the table the vase of flowers stayed in place? Loved how the family gathered the silver in a dinner napkin, showed compassion for the cleaning crew ... unless of course they were planning on stealing it. :p
Fascinating video.....It is awe inspiring and humorous at the same time. No matter how large or powerful, or technically advance they make vessels these days.... They are still subject to the turbulent forces of the Majesty of the Sea.
They were great about it. No complaining just dealing with it. They are there for fun. I"ve been on ships like that and it can be fun.....a lot of broken dishes though.
Grandpa cracks me up. Just keep those cookies coming and I'll be just fine. LOL! That guy is probably a graduate of WWII and a little ship rocking is nothing to him!
James Burke Cruiselines just got the biggest enviromental fine of all times all disposable plastics are forbidden including straws - but off course the “dining room manager” who has access to weather charts or has the time to do that on top of his 12 hour 7 day schedule will just have them flown in by the pigeons the same as the mail comes in daily - and needless to say families like these who just keep sitting instead of “hey lets go to our room the poor employees have so much cleaning up to do” will be furious “how dare we not have silverware - we paid $299 for this 7 day voyage”
I want to go on my next vacation with these folks! They handled all of it with laughter and jokes even though they were frightened, I’m sure. They made me laugh.
I would never go on a cruise for fear of just such, but your family is amazing and the humor & good spirits shown w love is what many, including myself are envious of having surrounding. Think the love & laughter could shelter any storm. 💕🥂🎁🥂💕
Such a great family, especially the Grandparents who take everything in stride! I’d have been honored to have vacationed with your family! I have my own family but we are just 3 now & I so miss having family vacations w/ my funny Pappy! Prayers to all of you, I haven’t finished the video but I hope it was a memorable vacation full of love!
I'd have sit on the floor, put my utensils in my pocket, food on lap, and held my cup between with my legs. Fuck it I'm still eating. This family had a good attitude.
This kind of weather is about as much fun as you can have sober and dressed. I always loved hitting storms. Looks like you and your family(?) had a pretty good time in it, all-in-all
I think it's great that these people are carrying normally. I've been on one cruise and we sailed through rough waters for the first couple of days. Shows and other events went on as planned and the staff was phenomenal. I cruised with Norwegian - it was, for the most part, an amazing experience!
I love how you are all so calm. I am not a happy bunny when ships start rolling. I don’t get sea sick but I am a nervous traveller on the sea or in the air.
The unique thing about cruise ships is that their center of gravity is higher than on most other commercial vessels. They are designed to provide the best possible "ride" in rough seas. The down side is that the higher the center of gravity, the greater the list. The greater the list, the more chance of capsizing (highly unlikely) but the risk is increased. Lower center of gravity gives more stability, but you feel every wave more intensely.
The. Most. Laid. Back. Family. Ever. 😀 They should have their own TV show where they face disasters and laugh in disaster's freaking face! Nothing's gonna stop this family from enjoying their good time. They could end each episode with: "How 'bout you pass the cookies, Grandpa." *Family erupts in laughter all around the table.* 😂
This wasn’t a disaster. None of them were injured or killed. You have no idea what disaster looks like. How’d laid back would they be on this cruise? ua-cam.com/video/TJib_ukEgbg/v-deo.html
You're missing out on a great opportunity. I swore I'd never go on a cruise. I broke that promise a couple of weeks ago and would go back on a heartbeat. The only Cruise ship disaster that I can remember over the last 40+ years was the Costa Concordia - And that was due to a captain's poor piloting and neglect on navigation through the waterway he was going through.
2:14 You probably never realised but thats the medical emergency code for serious medical conditions. Probably someone got hit in the head by stuff flying around.
Okay, that does it! When I finally take a cruise, I'm wearing my life preserver 24/7... even in the shower or on the toilet! And I'll pack a black tux version for the formal dinner! 🤣🎩
Your family are so nice, only few people do what you've done with the cutlerys, the employee will really appreciate you guys i swear, Thanks for sharring this video, i hope ya'll had a memorable journey and manny more in future!!
Seemingly the shifting of all the cutlery on the dinner table is hilarious however one would wonder if there is some kind of phenomenal power behind that something is really interesting to catch the cruisers attention amazing photo work LIKING it a lot thanks

HECK WITH THE WINE GLASS, BRING ME 2 BOTTLES OF HOUR BEST "WISKSY" & CHOCOLATES! HAVE THE BAND SING "LUCCA MOTION" & "SING ME BACK HOME BEFORE I DIE"!!
I was feeling bad for the little girl. You could tell she was starting to get scared and could hear the shakiness in her voice when she was asking her parents if they could go back to their room. But I love that the whole family just kept things light and didn't panic. Then it showed the girl playing around and it made me happy that she has such a great family who you can tell love each other and know how to make the best of everything.
One of THE most entertaining cruise footage videos I've seen! Largely in part because you have a really entertaining and fun spirited family! Love it.
I love this family! Their humor during this storm was so endearing. I just love Grandpa....his sarcasm had me laughing!
Love this family so calm and collected. And making jokes the whole time. Glad everyone was OK.
I love how grandpa is laughing the whole time... makes me miss my grandpa!
Same here! ♥️
Me too 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭
I'm thinking there's a good chance he's a war veteran who may have spent some time on a ship.
My grandfather would have been having a blast, I think.

PoyZun Iv..it wasmt that bad....and if people get sick that easy, you all might want to stay on land lol
I have to say, this whole family looks like the kind of people I want to meet on a cruise. they look really fun! old and young

marpa bbvvvvvnb
They really did seem like kind and good spirited family. Lovely people and took the ship rocking very well.
marpa was thinking the same! At least they were able to have a good sense of humor during it all!
They look like a fun family. Love the grandpa. I'm going to adopt that "If we're going down, I want to be full of cookies" attitude. :)
This family eased my heart.
Once upon a time, ships tables had grooves and raised areas to keep plates and silver war from shifting. I think they were on to something.
girl: how are you doing gramps?
Grandpa: it's seems we are gonna die sweetpie haha
father: haha
So I callled up the captain, please bring me, my wine.
He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969

What a sweet family you have! You are lucky to have had that time all together and making the most of it! Bravo! ...i also like grampa the best! haha
Grandma and grandpa arebthe original gangsters they just sitting there eating cookies and coffee like nothing happening.
Chillin' like villains!
They've probably seen worse in their lives ^^
@@leDespicable my thoughts exactly.
No their old so they stopped GAF they lived there life so who cares.
tyrone alexander ....yep , they’ve seen worse I’ll. bet.
Grandpa must have been a navy man
He just figures he doesn't have long to live in any case . . . so what the heck (?)
Lol the old man is like nothing just enjoying it!
I was thinking exactly the same when he was just sitting there and enjoying his cookies 😂😂😂
He is absolutely chill.
He probably lives by the rule "enjoy life, even in adversity!" :)
I love Gramps positive vibes, "what's the signal for abandon ship?" 😂 Actually the whole table was funny too, hope all was well for them later.
What a great family. I love the fact that they never lost their sense of humor. Real troopers, all of them.
What an incredibly fun family!! Took everything in stride, eating cookies, making toilet jokes, one gal was knitting, another was gathering silverware, another wanted to do a conga line...loved the music interlude too!!
This is when I take a xanax and eat all the dessert I can
Amen!!!
Exactly! I would do the same thAt Grandpa got it right!
A few of my xanax and my sleeping pill, lol
Actually I would take them all lmao
ABSOLUTELY this is a time that requires Xanax and definitely alcohol because if I'm going to go down like this in a cruise ship( WORST CASE SCENARIO I MEAN) then I don't want to be really conscience or awake for that but panicking and freaking out until i am forced to take my last breath before I'm completely submerged into water into an abyss of defeat.

I love how Grandpa just kept eating the cookies.
He figures he doesn't have long to live in any case . . . so what the heck (?)
He's fought in wars! No way a storm is going to interrupt his dessert.
Did anyone else notice that while the water goblets and silverware were sliding down the table the vase of flowers stayed in place?

If you are going to die, die eating cookies!
@@trishmccarthy1676 wait, wait, wait!
I've always wanted to do this.
Aaand.... The flowers are still standing!
Fascinating video.....It is awe inspiring and humorous at the same time. No matter how large or powerful, or technically advance they make vessels these days.... They are still subject to the turbulent forces of the Majesty of the Sea.
Cool cat Grandpa was like I’ve seen it all...this I nothing..pass the cookies.
😂😂😂 love it
You guys had a good attitude and Grandpa so cute and funny...sorry that happened I would have panicked and ran to my room...God bless your family
"It was in a night such like this...."
CLASSIC!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING THE LAUGHTER!!!!!!!
Grandpa would have been looking forward to getting in the life rafts and watch the ship sink.! Lol 😂
Staff: Sir we need you to evacuate immediately
Gramps: LEMME FINISH MY DAMN COOKIE
They were great about it. No complaining just dealing with it. They are there for fun. I"ve been on ships like that and it can be fun.....a lot of broken dishes though.
Grandpa cracks me up. Just keep those cookies coming and I'll be just fine. LOL! That guy is probably a graduate of WWII and a little ship rocking is nothing to him!
The older gentleman is the best! 😂 if I’m ever in this situation I want to be seated at his table right next to him. His laugh is contagious Lol
I'm sure the unlimited beverage package helped their mood.
They were all drinking water, where is the alcohol?
OutOfOrderLive Its cold vodka
The dining room manager should look at weather charts before setting up the room.20 knot wind forecast, break out the Coronet platicware and Solo cups

“Jokes “ “I’m gonna get my life preserver “. Don’t taunt mother Ocean.
I want to go on my next vacation with these folks! They handled all of it with laughter and jokes even though they were frightened, I’m sure. They made me laugh.
On a Aircraft carrier.everything is pretty much bolted to the floor.its coordinated so that even the fighter jets don't slide around.
Love they way everyone laughs -but scared stiff really - laughs of fear me thinks -
I would never go on a cruise for fear of just such, but your family is amazing and the humor & good spirits shown w love is what many, including myself are envious of having surrounding. Think the love & laughter could shelter any storm. 💕🥂🎁🥂💕

Time to bust out with the paper plates and cups
rock the boat!
Don't rock the boat baby,
Rock the boat!
Don't let it tip ova
Don't tip the ⛵ over
My love is like a ship on the ocean.
This kind of weather is about as much fun as you can have sober and dressed. I always loved hitting storms.
Looks like you and your family(?) had a pretty good time in it, all-in-all
Like my two Royal Navy brothers would say, "I've seen bigger ripples in my tot (of rum) !!!"
I like that everyone is laughing, just taking it in stride.
u r all wonderfull happy family
thank u for sharing
“ tonight we will be showing the movie Titanci”
"Excuse me, waiter! A bottle of gin and a straw please, thank you."
The grand pa..should br a legend in the family ;)
That's is great they didn't panic so the kid or kids didn't panic. I agree that Grandma and Grandpa are awesome!
@Ted Rose That's what I was thinking ! If I were stuck in that predicament, I would LOVE to be with that family . They were awesome !
I think it's great that these people are carrying normally. I've been on one cruise and we sailed through rough waters for the first couple of days. Shows and other events went on as planned and the staff was phenomenal. I cruised with Norwegian - it was, for the most part, an amazing experience!
Okay I can travel with this family! Stormy weather was not about to interrupt their fun! Love that!
I love how you are all so calm. I am not a happy bunny when ships start rolling. I don’t get sea sick but I am a nervous traveller on the sea or in the air.
Looks like a fun game of who can keep everything from breaking the longest!
Holleyhoneysweet yep

That’s a massive ship. Imagine centuries ago when schooners sailed the high seas.
I don't know how grandad eats his cookies while in storm I will be to busy throwing up in toilet
By p]
At the very least, I'm headed up on deck so I won't be losing my lunch. Fresh air and a horizon to key on.

What an entertaining Christmas Eve you had and you were all so jolly about it - good on you all
I stay here imagining how much they spent every trip when reach a thunderstorm with glasses and plates. Nice video!

Keep the drinks a coming, I'll sober up after the storm.
LOL!!! exactly!!!!
But if one throws up, would it be from the storm or the alcohol?

You all were such a great group! Enjoyed your video!
Grandparents have seen some sh*t in this lifetime and the storms are no match lol
Old man is like
"yeah yeah, those are small waves, where's the cider? This cookies make my throat dry"
Grandpa doesn't care. He has already lived a full life.
"Waiter get me a bottle of whiskey"
I have been on a cruise ship just like this doing the exact same thing it was kind of crazy and if you want to know if I was scared yes I was
Seemingly the shifting of all the cutlery on the dinner table is hilarious however one would wonder if there is some kind of phenomenal power behind that something is really interesting to catch the cruisers attention amazing photo work LIKING it a lot thanks
Grandpa is a doll. Great smile
Your Grandpa seems like fun!
Ikr!
They survived and they live peacefully in their own backyard pool.
I love how Grandpa's just enjoying his bread taking it all in😊💙
Grandpa was in the Navy...
Great video! It looks like yall had so much fun! I love yalls attitude and just laughing it up!
I couldn't stop laughing at the guy grasping for life and asking do they have pills on the ship for fear 😂😂😂😂😂 thatd be me...

lovely family they look so nice, they are having fun going throughout all that, others would be pissed
Good on these people for keeping their sense of humour, I've been on a cruise in conditions like this and hated every moment of it.
