Cruise from hell . . . . video

[southseasvoyagers]

Just a bit of fun guys ~

Found this little clip while surfing the net.

Thought we'd share it with those brave enough to view. Not for the faint hearted.:eek:

 

This is in fact reminisent of the last 3 days of my (Lynne) first cruise crossing from Auckland to Sydney back in 1976 on Fairstar.

We were caught in a huge storm 12 hours out of Auckland and we were 1 day late getting into Sydney. All were safe but the bars and restaurants were mighty empty for the first 24 hours of the storm !!!

 

As you can see it did not put us of future cruises.

 

:D Enjoy ~ http://www.dumbr.com/2481_Cruise-From-Hell.html

The clip is from 2005 in the Mediterranean! They'd lost power for awhile but were able to restart the engines (or AN engine) and limp into port. The video shows them wallowing without power. Mighty scary. . .can you imagine being a passenger on that ship?? :eek:

This is the clip I tried to post on here a few months ago. I had trouble posting the link so ended up emailing it to anybody that wanted it. Pretty scary stuff.

Ive seen this one a few times on youtube.

 

Scary stuff. Its a great ship though. Her and her sister ship were the fastest cruise ships when they were built, a cruising speed of 27 knots. The star only cruises at 18 knots.

Someone falling all over the place and coming at you with a needle? Now THAT would be scary. :D :D
