@Maxwedge12000 Absolutely true. I did it on the Pride of Bilbao in 1999, even got a handshake from the Captain he watched me walk from the 8 deck Galaxy bar back to my room on 4 deck with out holding on to anything and walked in a perfect;y straight line all the way back, even down the stairs..lol Good times eh?..
I've never been on a cruise because I tend to get extremely sea sick on boats, yet some people tell me that on a cruise ship you cannot feel the waves, even during a storm. In your experience, how much can you feel the swells on a large ship like this, in this kind of weather?
@Maxwedge12000 Yes I do! I've been on a cruise ship drunk. I didn't balance any better than when I was sober! You're a big fat meanie who eats frogs for breakfast.
Massive cruise ships like this are built to with stand storms much much worse than this. They have stabalisers and all heavy machinery is stored right down in the bottom of the ship to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. Its completly safe a shouldnt deter people from crusing.
The Voyager of the Seas was sailing out of Barcelona and will sail out of Venice next season. This class of ship is much more stable then the Radiance class. I just signed-off the Voyager after 2 contracts on the Radiance class.
bu muhteşem gemide 2009 da bir hafta oldum mutlaka grup olunmalı yoksa yabancı kalınıyor şehirden gemiye dönüşler çok erken şehirler tam gezilemiyor mutlaka turlara katılmalı bunun dışında herşey harika hele buz revüsü nü hala unutamadım
@xxcolonelRoguexx Voyager sails from Barcelona on a 7night cruise. But now the Liberty replaces the Voyager, who will be making shorter cruises in the Med.
Now we got modern ships displacing tens of thousand of tons and high tech navigational equipment to help us sail. I could only image what it was like for sailors in ancient times.
not that bad... i've been in worse... got to give the mate on watch some props on his/her seaman ship though... keeping that big tub pointed into the wind.
You should not play this music for one of the most stable cruise ships in the world. She is with the most stable cruise line in the world! She does not even roll from side to side! And what kind of storm did you show us?
@greyseagirl, I haven't heard of Voyager of the Seas losing her engines in a storm or seen any videos of such thing happening. You sure it's this ship?
@TylerMonaco Trying to play hard to impress? It is stormy seas damn right it is. If you'd stand on the bridge and feel the ship plunges back down you'd change your mind. Trust me.
It depends on the design. This Ship it might be 30- 35 degrees maybe even 40 degrees. But thats not the biggest problem. The captain can steer the ship in a way that will counteract the roll to stop it going over. Bit like a car that you steer to stop a slide. The big danger is a BIG wave hitting the side of the hull just at the wrong time. If that happens your kinda screwed.
@jmbeventphotography cruise ships have stabalizers like the wings of an airplane that automatically control the roll of the ship. A roll over is unlikley .
@101HeyNow Oh yes it will roll over. There have been many ships that have capsized even with stabilisers. Stabilisers can only compensate up to a point usually sea state SF9 or so. Once you go beyond this point its not a good idea. For example if a ship is hit by a large wave on the port or starboard side and it rolls over it should be ok. The problem come if another wave comes and hits it before it comes back on to the level. Thats what capsizes a ship even with stabilisers.
Asher you're such a funny guy. How did you manage to keep all that free grub in your bread basket while smashing through these waves? Unless of course you weren't on this cruise but a nice smooth food-keeping-in stomach waters cruise.
I got married on that ship less then a year prior to this, nice ship. I was on another cruise ship back in 2004 as we left from Aruba that was caught in the middle of a hurricane on a day at sea & the stabilizers failed, Wasn't as bad as this but it was still pretty bad, people where getting sea sick all over the place so I stayed in my cabin though the smell still was all over.
I don t know about cruise lines that operate outside of the USA but, but I have been on several cruises from the states. They are the safest and I have no misgivings about any of them. They will always put their guest and crew above money. I have had trips cancelled because of impending hurricanes. On Carnival you have to attend a mandatory life vest and life boat drill before sailing. Ther is no safer place to be than on a cruise ship. Of course you can t stand on the railings
i went on her sister the independence they are both same size so trust me they are big waves as this and the independence are the worlds biggest ships
This ship is ridiculously stable. If I may add, the new line or RC ships are not that stable at high seas. I've been in almost all of them and my best ride was with she.
i was on the explorer of the seas (the voyagers sister ship) in waves that came up about 3/4 of the way to the outer, lower deck. they closed the decks down because the splashs came over the rail and they were big!
Apocalyptica is a finnish band which has made some success with symphonic versions of Metallica and other heevy metal bands. Wathed them live in Gothebourg some years ago, in pouring rain:) Nice vid btw
I share your passion for the another Royal Caribbean ship, The Independence Of The Seas which I went on last May 08, it is an amazing ship and have booked a med cruise for May this year 2009 to go on her again, so massive but felt a warmth from the staff and passengers... mark
