Rough seas on the Carnival Pride, Nov 5th 2011. Ocean view cabin turns into submarine view!

[@enrichingexchanges]

You displayed perfect attitude, "I am now looking for fish"! Terrific sense of humor and a textbook example of how to weather a storm, no pun intended!

[@aileenmiller8175]

yeah plaza

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

That pun was so intended.

[@JodianGaming]

Bravo for not freaking out and doing the "Oh my god we're gonna sink" stuff. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Railer61]

I yet to be on a cruise ship, but if the alarms aren't blaring, then should be nothing to worry about.

[@MostafaMansoori]

I was thinking one day, it would be cool if they made a lower deck with windows beneath the ocean to view the underworld of the sea. Kind of like an aquarium.

[@TThomas939]

Haha saw a kids show called suite life on deck where they built one . When I was that age they were in a hotel.

[@MostafaMansoori]

Hahaha cool

[@AdrianoCROST]

Engine and generators are there

[@JMASTERFLAWLESS]

AdrianoCROST exactly

[@stojantomeski493]

i was sleeping on deck two this is two level below the sea

[@debbibaglio3720]

We were on that cruise from Baltimore, Md. The tv in our cabin actually fell off onto the floor. We were at lunch in the dining room when a huge wave hit us and glasses on tables on top floor began flying down and tables were moving everywhere. If it were not for another wave on the other side, we all truly believe we would have tipped over! Crew members were even saying "this is it". They were great though trying to make sure we were all ok....been on many cruises since then (5 last year) and we LOVE them..

[@iseeyou4209]

This lady has the coolest personality ever. She seems like the fun type haha beautiful and this is what I feared on my first cruise I honestly didn't think it could happen. This video proved me wrong lol thanks for sharing.

[@loriefranklyn2508]

My husband and I have been on several cruises and we are going to Bermuda on Holland America in May. This video shows exactly what I feared the first time we cruised in an ocean view room. I told my husband that my fear was being in a storm, and having the waves come up over the window so we felt like we were under water. He laughed and said "Uh, that never happens on a big cruise ship Honey, you are being silly." When I get home I'm showing him this video to prove that yes, seas DO get rough enough for this to happen when you are on a cruise ship! The people in the video are very calm and I assume they lived to show the video and tell the tale, but I would have been totally freaked out. The power and unpredictability of the Oceans are amazing. But that doesn't stop me from loving cruising!

[@carlesmiquel]

I love the way you really enjoy nature and its power... it's simply beautiful! Lovely weather.

[@Gianemakeup]

you have the best personality for these situations! beautiful colors vs. oh we're gonna die! :-)

[@donnag4940]

All that cracking and popping on the ship would make me shut the curtains, put on 2 life jackets, hang over the toliet and puke my guts out while praying in between.

[@janlovesmany712]

Donna G Same here.:-(

[@pauls0416]

Are you both kidding??? That would be SO FUN!!! I would watch it from my room and then I would go out to the Lido deck and watch, maybe ever to the front of the sports deck (outside)! I could probably even sleep if I wanted to, the movement would help me fall asleep.

[@buba4267]

Christmas Eve I agree :D

[@Philip02K]

Donna G i have been In worse

[@AQWorldsRay]

Those sounds should be reassuring to you, the expansions joints are making the ship flex and move, riding the waves better. If you didn't have this, the ship would buckle and tear itself a part or be severely damaged in a storm like this. Those cracking sounds are the ship moving with the waves, that's how they are designed, and that's how you're cabin doesn't split open like an egg.

[@Taragon630]

The footage of this cruise was simply amazing. The color of the sea is quite enchanting, exhilarating, and breathtaking.I wonder how the seamen fared during the age of sail, & endured the storms and waves of that era. Them lads must have been a hardy lot, to have weathered the ferocity and majesty of the world's oceans. I have the deepest of respect for them.

[@Torgo1969]

I have the same feelings in the coldest part of winter imagining how hardy my ancestors had to be to endure the cold winters in Eastern Europe.

[@cynthiathomas404]

I feel the same way Brave Men big respect for them

[@rocketraccoon1976]

OP sounds like a good person to be around in that kind of a situation. Most people would probably act stressed and/or depressed & sick, not cheering the waves as they go by.

[@Derangedteddy]

I love big storms while on a cruise. Great video!!!

[@blotski]

What a great, positive person this lady is!! I would have been terrified!! I was just watching this video.

[@stantheman6411]

WOW!!!!!! Thanks for sharing..... Those waves were incredible!!!!!!

[@k.w.churchill4397]

I realy dont know if I would be sick. But I would be fasinated,, and a tad nervous!!...That sea, would swallow you, the ship, and all trace of it. A bit scary to think how realy small we are.

[@briswifty9572]

The sea is truly mystifying and breath-taking.

[@gfoster31]

+K. W. Churchill That is exactly why I love the open seas. Calm ones that is. The solitude really makes you reflect on how small we really are. Good for an ego check once in a while! lol

[@ehtropenelopen5192]

Its really isnt going to swallow the ship. Ships are buoyant, they can literally climb tsunamis

[@TheAndrealee01]

The constant creaking would freak me out.

[@scottstls5236]

i dont know what would scare me more the waves or the creaking

[@chippychin]

I love this video and you are so adorable. The ocean is an incredible thing that can both soothe and terrify, and your video conveys this very well. Now I want a low room so I can experience this live! Thank you for making this video, I enjoyed it immensely.

[@tandy139]

Such a great video of the waves and wonderful narrator.

[@trinaresendez7616]

Absolutely breathtaking. The ocean is a dangerous but peaceful, beautiful and mysterious giant

[@miriamporcellato9228]

Watching this gives me anxiety

[@SockSnobFilms]

I think I saw a mermaid in that last one! lol Great video...I'm leaving for my first cruise in 7 days!

[@lupehernandez1951]

I'm amazed at how calm you were through all of that! I got pretty frightened looking at this clip - and I'm not one that frightens easily!!! Never should have seen The Poseidon Adventure. Being that you obviously returned home unharmed, I thank you for posting. Oooo...so scary!

[@LakeNipissing]

The microphone on the camera used for this video is incredible; very accurate sound reproduction.

[@enlightenedchild8373]

That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@keylempi]

From what I can find this was during Tropical Storm Sean. Great video!

[@brentaudi9354]

Amazing. You guys are so calm!

[@Kat-uj8qi]

The guy was like whatever big waves.. yawn...

[@Treetop64]

"Ocean view" cabin, indeed...

[@Tina2tu]

After seeing this I still love cruising lol

[@ScottLara]

Incredible video. Reminds me of my Navy days. I can't believe you weren't throwing up!

[@oliviapatterson6607]

I loved when you said: " oh look the water is beautiful

[@highvelocity123]

It amazes me how strong the ships are that thousands of gallons of water can be deflected off the sides of the hull. A mere 2000 gallon wave weighs about 14,000 pounds moving at 2-3 miles per hour. That's a lot of force...LOL

[@davidlewis1787]

She is having such a good time.. cool lady she is badass

[@christinealexander9390]

That would scare me! I love the excitement of the lady speaking... she's cute😊

[@mapupuce1]

Outstanding video! Thank you so much for sharing!! Wish I had been there with you guys, that would've been loads of fun!

[@marekadboy]

How cool are u under the situation!!! Incredible footage!!

[@aj3u]

My wife would freak out! Thanks for sharing. Sailing on the Pride in a few days.

[@46monkeyes]

I will NEVER take a cruise! Not just b/c of this, but b/c I like staying at my vacation destination and not have to worry about getting back on the ship by a certain time. Thanks for filming & posting this!

[@josepharcuri8693]

I love this. I would book a cruise now if they could promise rough seas!

[@MyMidnightMistress]

I think this has to be my favorite cruise video...ever lol. I love turbulent seas when cruising... although not extremely turbulent lol. Now I know why there are no balconies on the Riviera deck! LOL Looking forward to the Pride in October :) Thanks for sharing your video!

[@AxelWolfeCT]

lmao at 1:20 "I'm watching for fish now" xD

[@BOOMProductionsOfficial]

lmao indeed

[@gqfrausto]

Great video guys! Thanks for posting

[@Bonstergirl1]

hahahah i love how calm you are doing this.. I can handle the waves myself.. surprized me actually.. I can only watch them for awhile though.. but i did appreciatel your video.. thx for sharing.. I think the ocean is wonderful and im sure hooked on cruising :) hagd ..

[@bobbiehofer4924]

I would be enjoying this too! Thank you for such a great video

[@kathyj3584]

awesome to watch, thanks for posting

[@Alek_FilmsTravel]

Wow, this footage is incredible!! A triple "Like" :) Thanks for posting the video!

[@Bonstergirl1]

pretty awesome thx..i went on my first cruise in oct 2012 and we copped 15 plus meters.. i loved it lol..thx for the vid

[@temetchuk]

Loved this video!

[@EnchantmentOfTheSea1]

9/12/13. WONDERFUL !!! I know a lot of people hate it when there is high seas, but for this formal Navy Cmdr., it calls me back to the seas. Great & fun to watch !!!

[@Pollux95630]

Was on the Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess during a huge storm while crossing Queen Charlotte Sound. 40-ft waves for about 20 hours straight. I'd say a good 70-80% of the people on the boat were incredible sea sick, even the crew. Luckily my family and I never got sick. We all spent a lot of time on boats so I guess we were somewhat immune to it. Still though, couldn't sleep because you would literally get thrown out of bed. Leaving for another cruise to mexico next week. Fingers crossed for good weather.

[@hunternorwitch9739]

40 ft waves are impossible kid.

[@code2medic]

Hunter norwitch Guess its time for you to do little research before calling one a kid. Its called a tsunami which are usually 50 or higher. 100 footers are cause by earth quakes but some with such a smart skill set as you would know that

[@toadamine]

I'd be up on the deck in my raincoat! This looks super fun! 😁

[@MrThatsYe]

That is so cool!!! Whenever I'm on a cruise with rough waves I jump down the stairs and it feels like zero gravity;) its so fun!!!

[@shelley514]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video! Looked like fun - for those of us who don't get sea sick. LOL

[@Handiman544]

Cruise ships are designed for passenger comfort, not stability. They have a high center of gravity that allows a smoother ride in rough seas. The down side is that in extremely rough seas, they are very top heavy and will roll more easily and the risk of capsizing is greater if the waves are not maneuvered properly.

[@ut000bs]

J kK Isn't "a high center of gravity" and "top heavy" the same thing? How could having more weight higher make a smoother ride in rough seas?

[@tanham007]

Okay. I just booked a cruise and you have scared the DOOKIE out of me!!!!!

[@ut000bs]

+tanham007 LOL! Well, it is YT, after all. I bet you have a great time on that cruise.

[@tanham007]

+ut000bs I hope so! It's my first cruise!!! EEEEEEEK!

[@Mrs.buildingblackwealth]

+tanham007 if you need some cruise tips i can help you!!

[@amesavis]

i love how laid back the guy is.

[@david1golfer]

id love this. grew up with the old man fishing and riding rough seas

[@grumpyjr88]

I secretly kinda wish I could experience that. LOL Thanks for the video.

[@shadeie6395]

It kinda looked like there were a pair of legs When the last wave went over the window.......O _ O

[@dayrlthomas7923]

Cloud 4shadowing - I went to 4:54 and watched it at least 20x then paused it- I thought it was but I think a human would be much smaller

[@KM-Mink]

😮

[@beautyqueen1321]

woah that scared me

[@sophiapagano4145]

i loved it. my partner and i loved sitting and standing infront of the window and stare out into the ocean. ahh. nothing like it. however there is a scary side and would not like to have a bad experience at sea either

[@sylface86]

awwwww thatsss soo funnnny :D and youre guys was so lucky that got the cabin that far down on the boat i remeber i was on a trip like that with a cabin far down and it was like a washing machine i have never sleept s good in my life

[@Kopihucky]

That glass must be very thick....

[@ecoRfan]

Funny you mention glass since this same cruise was hit up front by a rogue storm wave which broke the glass in a kid’s club and caused a fire when the seawater came into contact with a television.

[@kikenna]

I'd only pee myself a few dozen times

[@austinrusecky4411]

That's nothing to me I live in Maine

[@Speeder84XL]

Nice! That looked really fun

[@mony19831]

Great! and I'm suppose to go on a cruise in September for the first time. I hope we don't experience any bad weather while on our trip.

[@seven5702]

all I can say is OMG! I pray to never experience that and I know that's not the worse. Proud of you for your bravery And footage. Helpful.

[@HappyGillian]

Wow. Great video. A little bit scary, but such an amazing and beautiful view of the ocean waves : )

[@liv-zw1fx]

How use not freaking out?? Boy I would be crying and freaking dying!!

[@avadalley68]

Same

[@avadalley68]

Same

[@sven7639]

This is water, you have lived 9 months in it so relax

[@scsstudios]

You can't go anywhere. Panicking literally does nothing but kill you faster. So why not make the most of it? --- This is my philosophy.

[@sven7639]

Oh come on, dont be this little bitch and Stop talking about my mother, she's been dead nearly 8 years The point is panic does not bring you anything, so make a bottle of wine up and watch a movie or fuck someone or everything together

[@nj4x4fever2]

Great video, Glad you didn't open the window. I will be cruising on that Ship in July this year going to the Bahamas my first time. I hope we have calmer seas. It's ok if it's not I am used to choppy seas, I kayak in the ocean in some large swells.

[@silver0078]

man look at those waves, the boat feels crazy when it goes up xD

[@mcdtropicalfishandaquarium8993]

sound the diving bell!! dive!! dive!! 10 degrees down bubble!! steady as she goes!! LOL!!:)

[@spwb2k]

outstanding!

[@mcdtropicalfishandaquarium8993]

hooyah!!

[@markdavid1479]

Carnival Pride is one of my favorite boats I've been on

[@briswifty9572]

These ships are amazing...the stabilizers that make the ship seem to just be floating in quite a calm sea maybe a little sea sick. Then to look out your window and see this.

[@JM811Cars]

Cruise ships do not have these stabilizers, that would be ocean liners.

[@jeffpuha8187]

RMS_Olympic1910 Virtually all current "cruise ships" have stabilizers. Even the smaller ones.

[@JM811Cars]

No, that is not true.

[@jeffpuha8187]

RMS_Olympic1910 It absolutely IS true. Stabilizers are standard equipment on almost all cruise ships currently in service. They have to be because of the huge windage and superstructure these ships have, which causes their center-of-gravity to be very high. The largest ships, such as the Queen Mary 2 and Royal Caribbean's new ones, have two pair on each side. Shall I cite all of the articles on the internet that prove this? Please do some research before you make uninformed statements.

[@JM811Cars]

I believe you are confused. Stabilizers are on all ships, but they're not as effective on cruise ships. Only ocean liners are designed to be in the high seas. It's all part of their shape.

[@Gnuso77]

You are so entertaining! Love the video. Never been on a cruise and wondering what something like that storm would be like. I don't know if the ship was that stable, or if it was your filming. Thanks for the great video!

[@snowwhitebeautyful]

Looks beautiful.

[@dd1862]

Now that was a cool video!

[@UAPJedi]

Cool dude, cool wife!

[@sdgundam37]

bad dog

[@2nl5]

***** got a buzz on no doubt

[@LakeNipissing]

Amazing speed of the waves passing by the window at 4:14 and 4:43. Just watching this in full screen mode made me feel sick. Almost certain I would be puking everywhere if I was on that cruise ship... for sure I wouldn't be laughing and cheerful about it, like the person recording the video!

[@bryantsteury8910]

That'd scare the everloving shit out of me

[@Tindometari]

+Bryant Steury I'll save my scared-shitless for when the water stops being on the *other* side of the window.

[@princesswarren1793]

lol

[@karonhamilton7314]

Omg i remember getting so seasick on our last cruise, the boat was rocking for two days

[@Matthew-zv8qe]

after being in rougher sea ride like this in a much smaller boat i fell sick just watching this lol

[@karonhamilton7314]

i remember my hysband and i sailed in similar conditions! we laid in bed with our life vest on and watched thise waves crazh and the sounds of the cabin cracking was too much to beat!

[@baldingogre]

That would be a scary sensation, watching the waves covering your window! I've been on five cruises and I've found the water in the Carribean is the roughest.

[@casswastaken]

Never had waves like these! Have only had calm seas. Would be interesting to see what this would feel like!

[@melloyello8787]

Are you kidding me? I'm going on my first cruise in 6 months and I'm so looking forward to something like this happening. I mean, I'll be happy if it doesn't, and I'll be happy if it does. Part of the excitement!!!!

[@kimbobranyan3627]

great job. loved it

[@kimberlylusk1395]

I have sailed in rough seas but never that rough :) looks like fun. :)

[@aidancox3876]

I love watching the waves, really I do.

[@goatmilk2878]

Went on freedom of the seas two yrs ago an same exact thing happen to me an I loved it

[@ScaryFear]

Wow, that is amazing. It is beautiful but I don't think I want to experience that. That last one was incredible. That deck of yours is so low. But this doesn't like like too violent of a storm. There are much worse. Glad it all worked out.

[@Chernelle]

Omg.. I would have freaked out.. but at the same time it would have been cool.

[@312Duck]

Amazing video capture! How were you so calm?! Very cool. Thank you for posting.

[@eden20111]

That looks like fun!!

[@boatyMcBoaterton]

That was awesome, hope the rest of your cruise wasn't so dark.

[@sherrienorris5358]

Our cabin was on deck 1. The Storm started the evening before and had calmed down some when I took this video. There was a lot more up/down motion than side to side, the cables on the glass elevators were twanging and the elevators were swaying a lot. For a good look at what it looked like from the forward top side of the ship check out the you tube video Carnival Pride in the Atlantic November 2011. That video was taken by another passenger on the same ship same cruise as we were on.

[@svenmeyer1792]

Wow, now that is some rough weather!

[@Conchead]

I keep waiting and hoping to get to see some waves like this on a cruise. One of these days...hopefully

[@Melanie-le6mw]

I love the color!!!!

[@scott09146]

I was on a cruise in February on the Carnival Pride and the waves went up to 25 feet! It was insane and we were delayed back to Maryland by like 6-7 hours

[@staceyhunt5342]

looking out would make me so scared and sea sick! Plus. The creaking sound would annoy me from being tense from the storm and huge rolls of waves kept on, but second that I had to listen to it that it wasn't fixed so I could enjoy, love my vacation or honeymoon.

[@dmorgan9470]

We were also on the cruise. Other than a couple of scary times, it was incredible.
