  • Sitting poolside on deck 7 of Viking Sky, the sea rough and the ship making good progress. Then the rolling starts and things go flying; then, in a series of heavy rolls to as much as 40 degrees, people and furniture go everywhere and the Emergency Signal is given - the call to Lifeboat Muster Stations!

    I’ve been on a couple of rough cruises but that was rough, rough! I do recall one time when we were in the Atlantic, on a 10 day cruise round the canaries, Madeira and Vigo. It was 10pm, and we decided to have an early night, an hour later there’s a call over the tanoy “all staff,”, and code word, followed by another announcement requesting certain staff to go to the engine rooms. Next all passengers were put on alert. We had to gather our lifejackets, put on warm clothing, stay in our rooms and wait for the next instruction/signal. I had kittens as I was claustrophobic and the thought of going in one of the covered lifeboats was clouding over me. I stood on our balcony looking down at the black sea, thinking it’s pretty rough out there…..whilst my hubby casually read a book😮. He told me to calm down and relax…I could have thrown something at him, but he did comfort me. Thankfully after an hour they announced us all to stand down, as they’ve managed to put the fire out in the engine room😮!! I thought I could smell smoke but my hubby said I was imagining it. The captain is not really in charge, in a way, the sea is.

    was on a cruise once, we encountered 4m waves. ship was handling it very well particularly bc the waces came from
    the front and according to the cabin crew the ship can handle it a lot better than from the side. you didnt notice much on the inside apart from the not being able to walk steady and in a straight line and not being allowed outside anymore. what was scary though is when I went to the front windows (there is the library) and you could at one moment only see water in the next only the sky. went the hell away from there again and wasnt able to contain my facial expression for the next few hours 😂 looked like the shocked emoji 😳

      Ships handle waves best from the front, as was shown in the beginning of the video. Crews thus will keep the ship pointed into them in heavy seas. But in this case the engines had all failed due to oil pump failures, leaving them adrift and the ship turned broadside to them.
