jhannah Posted March 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yes, that was scary. There was a thread posted last week with links to videos. I don't think I'll complain if I need to miss a port of call because of high winds! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=942445&highlight=scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
