I have some good friends who were on that cruise. They got airlifted out by helicopter.

I watched the video’s at the time. That was a very very dangerous undertaking to lift people off the ship in that storm.

They were very fortunate that the entire ship and passengers were not lost. The anchors held or it would have happened. Very iffy event. And it was silenced very quickly after the tugs helped them. The crew really did a good job of getting it partially back under power. The generators and steering the pod drives were the issue. More computer controlled issues.
