This is the terrifying moment a Norwegian cruise ship with British tourists on board was struck by a 'rogue wave', sending passengers sliding around the floor and knocking out its power during a ferocious North Sea storm.

MS Maud was sailing some 162 miles off Denmark's west coast and about 217 miles off Britain's east coast when the monster wave shattered its windows on the bridge. VIDEO AT LINK

I wouldn’t want to feel that terror. That looks horrible.

Note to self: Avoid cruise ships during violent North Sea storms.

Me either. Youtube is full of videos like this.

We’ve taken a few cruises. The trick to a comfortable trip is take it when the ocean is historically calm where you will be going.

A cruise in the North Sea? I can’t imagine any opportune time in that part of the Atlantic.

“500 passenger ship”

That sounds like a fairly small boat. By today’s standards 2500 to 3000 passengers is normal.

My dad was transported to Germany in a converted destroyer escort in November of 1952. 14 days of violent rolling and pitching.
