I went on a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico a couple of years ago and we hit a storm. One night it threw the 3-year-old out of his bunk three times and me once. Not all that fun to be honest.
Geez, either this was a hurricane or something broke on the ship, because liners have these huge stabiliers under their beam that normally minimizes this type of listing.
I worked on acruise ships for a long while, and I’ve never seen one with furniture as badly equipped to handle storms as this ship – usually all of the furniture is either bolted to the ground or has rubber on the bottom to keep it from slipping. Anyway, thanks Chris, this video reminds me that I made the right choice in being a landlubber.
On a cruise in the Baltic when we hit a Force 9. I was going back to the Cabin when the ship heeled over. One second I was walking on the floor the next the wall then the floor again. Thats the secret, just keep going.

That little pepper mill rolling around the whole time is rather amusing though.

Another reason I don’t want to go on a cruise!
Makes the moonwalk a hell of a lot easier.

Reminds me of this.
I have tertiary syphilis.
