It was the Grand Voyager (from Iberojet, a spanish cruise company). February, 2005, at the Mediterranean, somewhere between Tunesia and Barcelona.

My wife and I were on the Gradeur of the Seas on January and we had 12-18 foot sees and a gale warning. We could not go to Costa Maya because of the weather. It rocked enough for our drawers in our cabin to open and close and the hangers to rock back and forth. Also as you would walk around, everyone would leave over and grab onto everyone. We were lucky that we did not get sick, but there were many that were. The ship rocked a lot more than I expected it too.

Not sure if an old scottish ferry in NZ will rock your boat but its having a tough time.

WOW!! Oh my goodness! lol!

 

We are just off the Ecstasy and we talked to a man that was on the Ecstasy when it was in the hurricane! He said all the outside decks closed and it was ROUGH!! Alot of people got sick! It was just the crew though. He said he actually didnt get sick and that it reminded him of a roller coaster!?! hehe I would have died lol!

Wow, looking at all that makes me feel sick to me stomach. I can't even imagine what those poor people went through. I sail in 3 weeks, I'll pray for smooth sailing.

We were on Rhapsody and although the weather was sunny, the waves were high. The outside decks were closed off.

Never had seas quite that rough ;) !

Jeez with that You Tube Video, I would be calling my command... They would have to send a cutter or Helo to get this Coastie off of that ship lol.

If they close the outside decks, what do they do to the balcony cabins? Do they have a way to lock the doors so you can not open them?

XCGSAILOR- Everytime I try to link to the site my computer freezes up :confused: just on that site, anyone else have that problem? I'm dying to see it!

:eek:

 

 

It's not real. Nice photoshop job though. :D

 

Sorry to come in so late everybody, just saw this on the main board page this morning.

[CAC104]

Can you tell us how the photo shop could make up this picture....I thought it was real!

[Krazy Kruizers]

Great sites and pictures.

[Aplmac]

That Voyager one was sure scary looking

 

Did you notice the water being tipped out of the pool??

 

There are a few views taken from astern, or nearly astern.

Keep an eye on that small swimming pool on the uppermost deck, aft.

See the water being tipped out, over its corners.

That's how bad it is!
