Rough Seas

[Toby459]

Cruise questions now asked on TV. This past week, contestants on Family Feud were asked what they found the hardest thing to do when ships encountered rough seas. The first person responding said "sleeping". :eek:

 

Sleeping was not my first choice. How about you?

In 2010 i was on the Norwegian Gem Transatlantic Venice to New York, two days before we arrived we encountered rough seas. A 42 foot wave hit the ship as i was getting off the elevator to go to the Buffet, my poor little body went flying from one end to the other hitting the stand outside la Cucina. My left arm was hurt, other people got hurt too, broken noses, wrists etc. Needless to say i ended up in the medical center getting an arm sling. When we went back to our stateroom everything from the mini bar was on the floor everywhere:eek::eek:.

 

I would say the hardest thing to do when you encounter rough seas is getting to the buffet :D:D:D

My answer would be 'walking'. In rough seas it is a real challenge to walk from place to place on the ship. Many areas have no handrails.

Pretend to be sober. :cool:

We drink, so we don't notice it! Easy! Going up and down stairs when the ship is lurching is really hard if you're sober...if you're tipsy...you compensate!

Reaching Zero gravity!

 

When on the upper decks forward and the ship rises so fast your knees want to buckle then the ship drops out from under you so fast your stretching your toes to try and stay in contact with the deck. :cool:

Walking down the hallways without looking like I had way to much to drink.

Walking around is difficult.

Recovering from a hangover.

 

That is one thing I just can't do if the ship is moving a lot. If I've had a lot to drink the night before then I need some solid ground to recover myself. Rough seas can mean that I just never get myself sorted for the whole day.

 

I totally agree about the weighlessness thing. I was quite far forward in the Escape when it was moving a lot and when lying in bed it was great when I was falling.

 

It's also interesting trying to walk across the ship (for example round the aft on the waterfront). You start off walking uphill and then suddenly you are going downhill and have to struggle to stop yourself.

Having sex.

 

Why?

[GUT2407]

I agree with walking.

 

Broke me toe last year when the ship rolled and drove my foot into a metal lounger.

Rough seas do affect sleeping. There are always things clanging, banging, or doors sliding. I met a woman in the spa the day after rough seas. She said she could not sleep because she kept thinking the ship was going to capsize. So I can see and understand why some people would say sleeping.

In the Stardust performing a musical, ship being tossed by waves and crashing down with a resounding bang! every time you try to hit a high note.

Showering.

 

Next... shaving in the shower! :eek:

[April42749]

The treadmill.........

[grouchomarx]

Agree shaving your legs in the shower is very tricky business during rough seas. Picking up a very full martini glass is hard too. Oh these first world problems lol :)

My hubby landed in the lap of one truly gorgeous lady during rough seas. We were on the dance floor and she was seated nearby. I've never been really sure if it was the ocean or the emotion:-) In any case, I still tease him about it (mercilessly I might add!)
