Those cruise ships look like they would be fairly top-heavy. Yikes!

Anyone know when & where this was?

That is a pretty small cruise ship.

Oasis of the Seas probably would have been barely rolling.......

Been there.
Done that.
Hurricane Bob 1991.
Scared out of my mind.
I will never forget.
Have not been on a cruise since.

Know nothing about ships, but seems like the captain could have picked a better course to steer to minimize the rolling?

Admiral Halsey managed to find not one, but two typhoons during WWII, and barely managed to escape courts-martial for losing ships and men.

Look at the bright side. Look at all the food not consumed.

Looks like all the water was knocked out of the swimming pool.

Just as the video cuts off it is being hit by a wave that would have been 20 -30 feet over the gunwales. That was ugly.
