Video of wild seas on Jewel Transatlantic

Hello all! Below is a link to some video taken while on a Transatlantic Cruise aboard the Jewel of the Seas in May '05. We were about 800 miles from Lisbon, Portugal and 7 days into our cruise. Pay no attention to my appearance in the video - I had *just* woken up after a late night in the disco!

Yikes, looks pretty scary. How did the ship handle the wind and waves?

Wow! Thanks for posting!

Wow! That was really crazy! I can't imagine being on a ship with waves like that. :eek:

How bad was the ship rocking?

OMG! That video is amazing! Thank's for sharing....

That was awesome! I could just feel the ship rolling as I watched those waves building. I can't imagine being in something like that!

TFS,

Wow...that was fantastic! I have often wondered how well a cruise ship would ride out rough weather - you seem to be doing just fine. We had weather on my QM2 transatlantic but it was nothing like that (JOS).

Great video!!!

I don't know if this totally allowed, but this picture was posted in another area concerning the same cruise. (I will certainly understand if it gets deleted, but I figured it was appropriate.)

OMG makes me have second thoughts about doing a Transatlantic Cruise. We are trying to find a Crusie for our 40th Aniv for 2008 in Nov and it is impossible to find a cruise, excpet a Tansatlantic. Not sure I want to do one in Nov/Dec

You know, old age is something. I just realized that you were talking about the Jewel and I posted a picture concerning the Pearl. Sorry about that.

I do wonder if there's something about NCL's TA crossings that invites hurricanes.

We'll see when the Gem does on its TA this December to Boston.

You were in what we call ,heavy seas', this is why people love cruising , you're not sitting in a hotel! I was in a gale off the coast of Cape Hatteras on a HAL ship, my first cruise,1991! I enjoyed my neighbor's drink in the bar in the crow's nest!! Great shooting, thank your husband. Rgds PD

OMG!:eek: Was that North Atlantic?? We are doing our first TA Rome to FLL and that makes me VERY nervous........... Where did sail from/to?

We were on the Norwegian Dawn on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic in December weather, like the video and we loved every minute!

So much so, we are doing it again in December from Barcelona to Boston!

Forgot to add that this trip will be on the Norwegian Gem, not the Dawn.

Great video.. Atlantic looked more like the Bering sea in that video.. can not wait for our trans Atlantic cruise next year

we've had some rough seas but nothing like that...thanks for sharing

oh.my.god.

*sigh*

Speaking of the Bearing Sea and the mention of, "Imagine being on a small ship in that", I just watch After the Catch, where they show clips of different Deadliest Catch shows on Discovery Channel and saw some rogue waves smash into those little crab boat.

I've been in rough seas once before, edge of a hurricane coming up the EC near where the St Lawrence river empties out into the bay/atlantic ocean. It wasn't fun. I was the only one not to get sick, but that ship tossed and turned (ship was the Veracruz) and was a tiny little thing to begin with.

Great video and some great shooting by your husband. I'm right up the road in Cornelius on the lake... :)
