Where are the 40ft waves?

[KerriBella26M]

Those swells you see are 40 ft waves, look at the additional videos i posted which will show the extensive damage to the interior of ship and the people being knocked about. You need to remember, in case you have never been on a cruise ship that the video i took in that image is over 175 feet above the water line. The ship is 14 stories and has a height of 214 feet above the water.

I worked this cruise and we measured waves of 29 feet in the ocean lab on board. It was rough enough to close all access to the decks outside, but not enough to cause major problems. We did get back to port about 6 hours late.

Even the bridge on that ship isn't 175 feet above the water and you're below that. Misleading descriptions always get a thumbs down.

Wow I couldn't imagine trying to tread that water probably wouldn't last long I know how tiring it is being in waves.

@KerriBella26M first you say 30 feet, now it's 40. Yea OK. DISLIKE

@SuperAnimalGuy LOL!

Been on lots of cruises, those are nothing like 40 waves? I would say a fair swell, maybe 16ft. 40 foot waves would be coming over the promenade deck, they are not even anything like close.

I have seen the sea 3 times on cruises with real 40 ft waves and believe me the sea looked nothing like that... This looks like an everyday passage on the Bay of Biscay.
