A guy I work with was on that boat.
The captain said on the intercom 'we're experiencing heavy seas, there's nothing to worry about'.
At the same time, he's calling the coast gaurd and all the staff is freaking out. People barfing in the halls, jacuzzi's washed over board, the window to the pilot room is cracked and won't survive another wave.
He loved it, said it was like a thrill ride. The boat was listing back and forth like 60 degrees. Anything not secured was flying all over. Oh and FREE DRINKS! Hehe.
