I agree wince6661 it was just before the storm or just after it.it was some storm my sister couldn't even stand for long without feeling sick

Respectfully, this was a storm. I was on this ship at the time and it was the most frightening thing have ever experienced. This footage doesnt do it justice and looks like it may have been on day 2-3 day of the cruise when really the storm occurred on the 3rd night through to day 5 I think it was. We didnt stop in Madeira as we had to sail off course due to the storm and when its imposible to stand still without holding onto something, sleep without rolling out of bed id say it was a storm!

There's no storm clouds at all and waves weren't 30+ feet, so this is no storm. Pitching and heaving is normal at sea. Respectfully, this is no storm.

I was on this cruise it was actually much worst then this it was scary but the staff were so friendly and the entertainment was amazing there was so many things going on around the ship that it took your mind off the weather I was also on the grandeur of the seas like 9 months after this and it was amazing if it puts u off going on a small cruise ship its lies it's still as much fun and safe

Sadly I never had this crossing the Biscay last year... great perspective of the pitching, you can really feel it. Love a good storm, very exciting, and that's a ship that can certainly take it!

I was on this same time. Luckily we had a good captain and he got us through. It was our first cruise and scared me to death but loved it and would do again. X

The Bay Of Biscay was as flat as a mill pond when we crossed it on IOS in May 2010. From your video footage I count ourselves extremely lucky!
