Well, it isn't "amazing" but it is interesting. Once again, when I see things like this I am reminded how often the media protrays cruisers as "softies" who are old and infirm.
There are people getting tossed around a lot in this video, including the woman who hits the pole (ouch! sorry). And it keeps going. But I am guessing they mostly toughed it out.
Kudos to the crew for trying the help as much as possible.
A Bad Day At Sea [with power] Always Beats A Good Day At Work
Alaska 2014 - haven't picked a cruise yet
Carnival: Glory 2004, Destiny 2008, Splendor 2009, Freedom 2011, Valor 2012
Celebrity: Summit 2011
Princess: Ruby 2010, Caribbean 2013
Please trust us on this one - that would be EXTREMELY rare. Besides that, I dont think anyone was hurt. It is just a little chaotic for a minute for so.
If your first cruise is in the Caribbean I'll bet you forget you are even on a ship.

Paul - you scooped NBC - they showed this video at the end of the Nightly News last night. Brian Williams said the video is from sometime in 2008.
Carolina - you would be hard pressed to find anyone on these boards who has experienced anything like this. The odds weigh heavily in your favor.
