Hey, ODH.
Why the HECK don’t they have lugs built into the floor at certain intervals (and, of course, off of main walkways) to grab and stop things from sliding around?

It’s amazing that forklift didn’t crash through the side of the ship!!

Man. I don’t care if it is a 70,000 ton cruise ship. That stuff in the second video should have all been stowed correctly. That is piss poor. I understand not having all the customer areas tied down, but there is no reason whatsoever to not secure that stuff below decks in some fashion.

Yikes! At first it seems just silly, but once the big pieces of furniture, and heavy machinery below decks, start sliding around it gets downright scary.

Looks like the lady who got slammed into the pillar was knocked out.

The guy in the 2nd part of the video who turned around and went back the way he came made a very wise decision!

Can’t believe there was no footage of anyone barfing.

I rode out Hurricane David off of Charleston in 1979 on a frigate.

I would much rather have been on something the size of that cruise ship.
