Cruise Ship Wild Pool

Rough seas near Tasmania, Australia cause cruise ship pool on upper deck to splash well outside of the pool and onto the surrounding deck. This keeps crewmembers very busy constantly mopping and redirecting the resulting floodwater! Onboard Holland America's Statendam.

when i first experienced this sight in the Caribbean, I thought it was intentional. But then I realized it was because the waves made the boat move which in turn made the waves.Although the kids enjoyed playing in it, the staff eventually had to close the pool down. The waves could be quite strong! Did you know some boats even have Wave Riders right on them now?

I was aboard a cargo ship which had some sort of anti-wave system on our outdoor pool! Something an Engineer rigged up...the seas can sure make life difficult if you're not used to it!
