After looking at the wave maps, I'm glad I'm not planning on doing any cruising between Greenland and Iceland! :eek:

It is called "listing". Someone would say, "The ship listed to the right" for example. It doesn't stay that way for a long time but it sure feels like it when it happens!

It happened on the Carnival Legend sometime with in the last two weeks. I read it here on the boards.
