Creator's Key Takeaways

I did not think that a ship of this size would really move a lot in rough Seas or in the wind but last night I found out that that was wrong

I was just surprised at how much this big ship was creaking and crackling and swaying and making noises

the winds were so strong in the night that the Harbor Master closed the harbor and said no Ships coming in no Ships coming out

I've been on smaller ships than this in storms and I always thought okay a bigger ship will move less

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for ship motion even on large vessels in rough weather
Check for harbor closures that may affect arrival times and excursions

YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean is famous for building the largest cruise ships in the world. The Oasis, Allure, Harmony, Symphony, Wonder, and soon the Icon are all ships with a max capacity of over 6,000 people. I once thought that these ships would be so big that you wouldn't feel the motion of the ocean while cruising, but on a recent trip, I found out I was wrong! #cruise #cruiseship #royalcaribbean Get my NEW BOOK!
