Independence of the Seas Bay of Biscay Storm

[wandawizard1]

This is why I would never sail from Southampton! Went on first cruise in September this year, on Voyager of the Seas. Flew to Venice and picked up ship from there.

[mrryanthebest]

I went on a Independence cruise November 8 2010 and it was my first cruise and the sea was hell but was still such an amazing holiday... but we did miss madiera

[IrishNick317]

[lyncvolan123]

i was on the baot at this time i did'nt know it was this bad!!!!!!!

[wilkinwonder]

We went on the Independence n the 23rd November 2009 and going through The Bay of Biscay was a little rough but no way as bad as that we only had 30 foot waves if memory serves me correct

[XxXxMw2xGaMeRxXxX]

ive been on that boat, that was my first royal c. cruise.

[The4manxies]

I've been on 3 cruises (Navigator & Independence of Seas) and been quite lucky with weather. We went in Oct 2009 and we were fine. However my sister went on Cruise end of Oct 2010 to Canaries and the weather was so bad the Captain had to make a detour and missed out on Madeira port - nearly put her off for life!!!

[n2motocross]

Thats beautiful. If you love the seas, then this is primo weather.

Ah.. One of my first cruises was through the Bay of Biscay, I thought I was going to die...

[beyondonethousand]

Looks nice and cozy to be on such a monster plying through these waves. It looks like fun.

[snowmummy16]

Blimey that looks scary is it really safe on that boat? Ive never cruised but it puts me off a bit!

[Ryanairlines115]

the visibility seems to get worse towards the end of the video, not good :/ where were you travelling to?

[LordSnow1488]

i love cruise

[nycbrickman]

nice..my dream cruise

[KIRBYCEK]

My sister and I were on this ship ,our first cruise, Fantastic I loved the storm.

[FizzySherbet]

Ahh the bay of biscay. So, so, so many 'happy' memories on cruise ships there.

However, me and my brother went to the front of the Aurora (P&O) in about force 8 storm, the ship jumped as we jumped, and I'm not kidding here, we were floating for about 4 seconds! It was amazing.

[santino4561]

[iguanaboy100]

what was the date and where were you going

[TheMoogles]

@iguanaboy100 we sailed on the 12th Nov for 11 night cruise to the Canaries, it took so long to get through the Bay of Biscay that we missed Madeira.

[iguanaboy100]

@MrMicheal666 what do you mean

[iCalFx]

[beyondonethousand]

[jodieleahmorris]

[reebokblokey]

I was on the November 1st 2009 crossing (not sure if the same trip) but was rough then, we were on the 10th floor did bang about a little bit but the Indy is very stable and wonderful, still had a great time... mark

[TheMoogles]

this was the 12th Nov sailing, but we heard that you had it a little rough too. We had our sea legs so didn't miss a thing :-)

[cazcrazyjonty]

o How i remember that lol was def rough crossing over hahaha funniest thing was the ppl in wheel chairs when the ship rocked they went crashing into lifts nearly pissed myself laughing shouldnt really ahhaha

[AlanW13]

Great video. Esp love how Indy just thunders headlong into the gale at her usual cruising speed. Incredible.

[xlxdriver]

Are you not allowed to go outside?

[TheMoogles]

we weren't, all doors to decks were locked because of the high winds

[beyondonethousand]

Once a ship encounters such a storm, the captain orders a "Lockdown" of the ship as The Moogles below responded.
