Wait a min? Question how are u scared of the ocean? Iam confused pls explain?

@@athensboy123 the fear of drowning

Me too

I have thalassophobia and am terrified of the ocean so watching this is also exactly what I’m going to do.

holding my hands shut but still watching even though i have fears..

Mee i love watching these but im definitely afraid of huge bodies of water like this 😮

👋🏻 Me😬

Me

Im literally on s carnival cruise watching this right now

Me

what????

Where r u from?

so basically he was dumb

Who cares

Obviously her dad was a captain on a fishing boat or other seagoing vessel. It’s amazing how idiotic the responses are.

Actually he could’ve waited in port. The captain had sufficient warning that there was a winter hurricane forming off the east coast and he choose to sail right into a hurricane. I would’ve sued.

Don't forget, they're dealing with loads of entitled folk who have no clue about travelling the seas.

@@happysloth3208 no - the island had to be evacuated.

This was a no win no matter.

That was not even that bad of a storm. We have weak people today

Welcome to entitled rich folk.

Well they're not suing the crew lmao

No, the sued bcuz they put them in danger over a dollar. Yk damn well they keep tracking of the weather.

@@tharealchef2539Yeah? Tap the rear of an old heap car at three mph. Welcome to your nightmare.

I know especially since they were evacuated off the island 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Some people just don't live in the real world. 🙄🙄

mind you, the people who go on cruises are the same ones that go “camping” in RVs

​@@brownie3454Lol 😂😂 For real. 😅

Lol you're an idiot. The Captain is suppose to sail around the storm, not through it. The USS El Faro sank in the same waters just a couple years earlier in the same conditions

Why so much protection for billionaire conglomerates? How does that assist you? Suing a lot of times keeps huge companies from completely getting away with dereliction of duties. You say that until you find out Norwegian knew that the storm was dangerous and put pressure on the captain to keep up with the schedule. We really don't know.

Well if you watch the beginning of the video people did die 22 of them

@@tinaschang8390I believe the 22 people were in other places that experienced the storm - just like 300,000 power outages and 1.1 billion in damages .. doesn’t say on the cruise

22 westerners died because paintings fell on the floor or because they felt the ocean was too wavy? Seriously whiny. 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@tinaschang8390 nobody on the cruise died. Those were people who lived in the Bahamas. People make me sick. "I sued because the weather got rough on the ocean". Are you gd serious?

One of thee wisest things I read this year , thanks 🙏

I read this @4 am in the morning cause I couldn’t sleep cause I was feeling like I was in the dark ocean but thank you for the words it really make me sigh thank u

This brought tears to my eyes 😢

I'm in that dark ocean at the moment and being swallowed by it... due to ill health and not yet getting better... very good description... 😢

@@hanneke5988wish you the best

she was right 😏

Same

😆😆

Thats a good time to cruise come to Florida when it is more active in the summer and you might change your mind. Haha then again you are watching this while you are on a cruise so it just tells us what kind of mental case you are lol hahah

I'm sorry 😅, but you said this is common on cruises during the winter? 😱 I honestly thought it'd be safer due to Hurricane seasons around late summer and fall? 😬

​@@foxyalchemist8271 it's not common, it's just not particularly rare or unheard of. Hurricane season is different because you know they're coming several days in advance. Sometimes we can watch it form all the way from the coast of Africa and travel to the gulf. Winter has storms but most aren't this bad. The difference is that these storms form right there out of basically nothing, sometimes getting pretty strong in just a few hours. The gulf of Mexico and surrounding water stays relatively warm throughout the winter, as does the air. Cruising in January is amazing because it's not too hot once you get to Mexico or the Bahamas- air Temps are in the high 70s, low 80s, and that's basically the only time the humidity is relatively low (if you're from the Midwest or something, you'll still feel it quite badly. I'm from Florida and it's what I'm pretty sure heaven feels like). But a front of cold air, like a burst, will move into that area and mix with the very warm air and you get a storm. Most are just regular- I've been through a couple of rough nights crossing the gulf in January, but it's usually not quite that bad. But sometimes the result is a stronger storm, like a mini tropical storm, and you just have to deal with it. On the water, things can change fast. I'm disgusted that grown people were too stupid to understand that a cruise line can't control the weather and sued.

Hells yes! This is amazing footage of the true, raw power of the sea. I would have been loving every minute of it, staying safe of course.

@@WhiteWolf-- it would be awesome! Staying safe, of course.

You can get your wish by sailing around Cape Horn at the right time. They call the area the "Roaring Forties," meaning 40+ft. waves during bad storms.

As long as you try not to die… By staying safe, of course

I would too. I have been in some 12+ Beaufort storms myself, its incredible but be prepared as you might get seasick.

island name?

are you basing that off total deaths or by ratio? cause i guarantee there a shit ton more cars than airplanes or boats

We won’t die in the water tho

Nice to meet you , You look gorgeous .I want you to know that you are a very beautiful and a lovely lady and your beauty alone can make any man to fall in love with you in a second

Right. How can you sue someone because of an act of nature?? Some people are the worst.

For real

File a lawsuit……get a grip! It’s like that American couple who are suing after being on a cruise and a visit to White Island in New Zealand. The eruption happened, they were injured but lived. They want to sue because it was dangerous 😂. They, and they alone, made the choice to visit a live volcano but refuse to accept personal responsibility…..about as American as you can get.

It would be a moment before you were washed overboard by a wave. Even if you had a harness securing you to the deck railings there’s still a chance of getting swept over then dragged along dangling from the side of the ship…

​@@paulwheeler8913That would truly be the stuff of nightmares for me. I have a fear of open water, and the thought of being on the deck of a ship in a raging storm fills me with terror!

THIS

There are cruises that leave you in places for several days, or you can cruise to a place spend a few weeks there and cruise back. The cheap 1 week cruises where you stop for a few hours this day, a few hours that day, and then come back are cheap for a reason, and most people never get out on the ocean outside of these cruises so it can be an experience for people the first time.

There are people who go to all inclusive resorts in Cuba/Mexico ect…never leave the resort, the only locals they run into work on the resort…but then claim their travellers who have seen other countries…buddy, you’ve seen a resort packed with other tourists…you haven’t seen anything!

@@karenwilliams5789 a lot of Australian bogan rednecks do that in close by south East Asian countries. Or they go there and speak down to the locals and treat them like slaves then come home. They don’t immerse themselves in culture or learn languages. It’s pathetic and embarrassing.

Excitement and adventure. Bear in mind, captains do try their best to avoid swells and storms, but it's not always possible to avoid them. For these folk to go through that bad of weather though, I imagine trying to avoid it would've led the ship too far off course.

Exactly

In a cyclone a ship in a bay or at dock would be destroyed.

Maybe you should give one a try. Then you could see for yourself rather than try to imagine why people still jump on cruise ships. I have been on 50+ and have only come across widespread sickness once. It was as a result of seas like seen in this video. I also do land vacations. It is difficult to compare them one against another except maybe for the food, which in general is way better on a ship. The sea is captivating. Once you experience the open sea she stays with you forever.

I agree

still dangerous though regardless

Damn

1923? liar. you're 100+ y.o but could still use technology typing etc? crap

😂😂😂😂

That would make you 110+ years old then.

idk why they didnt just sail around it

which island is this?

​@@AnnaWilliams-mu6kpit's an island off the coast of great stirrup cay in the Bahamas that the cruise line owns and uses for their cruises.

@@locabynature I am so greatful to hear that island name from you thanks a lot

Hello beautiful

Nice to meet you , You look gorgeous .I want you to know that you are a very beautiful and a lovely lady and your beauty alone can make any man to fall in love with you in a second

And it’s barely stopping now

@@06snydernancy 40 miles inland with coastal fog today! You’re right!

😊​@@06snydernancy

@@Mark-gw9ex The Death toll was on land, it was referenced as means to show how strong a storm it was

​@KBdesigned Canada which is why it was better to sail through the storm rather than be trapped on land or possibly killed.

@@jasonedwards2820 definitely better to be on a boat. thats what theyre made for!

It is not true that a captain would rather be on open seas during a storm. Case in point: the Edmund Fitz and the ship that reported her missing were both headed to safe port. Had she made it, her entire crew would be enjoying old age today, instead of floating in a cold watery grave at the bottom of Lake Superior. And before you mention that lake Superior is not an ocean, I challenge you to hold your breath while flying over it.

Right!!! People don't understand the severity of the situation. And the bad decision to push trough and not sail around.

@@sergeant1446 yeah the captain cost them I think but that’s a tough job navigation alone let alone trying to avoid a cat 5 hurricane

@@Jamie-bg3zb When I was on active duty the USS El Faro use to bring our equipment to Kuwait in the early 2000's then she was called the Northern Lights. I hate sea duty I dodge it at all cost because of ships masters like these guys. He should have headed for calm waters and waited her out, he had time to get on the outskirts of the storm.

Actually, the strength of low pressure.

Yeah

Uh no!!! He's suppose to go around the storm, not straight through. It's called criminal negligence.
