Another cruise ship struck by a rogue wave

Explorer of the Seas hit by rogue wave

Not all weather can be predicted. That's the greatest danger facing cruise ships and it's what happened to Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas. After leaving Barcelona, Nov. 2, the ship was in open water on Nov. 7 when it was hit with a rogue wave.

Royal Caribbean shared an official comment at the request of Come Cruise With Me.

“During an unexpected wind gust near Tenerife, Spain, one of our sailings experienced sudden movement," the cruise line wrote. "One of our guests was injured and requires additional medical care, so the ship will make a call in Las Palmas, Spain, for a medical disembarkation. We are communicating these changes directly with our guests."

Those rogue waves are a fascinating and terrifying phenomenon

Imagine going on a cruise and almost living the Poseidon Adventure

Well… I honestly thought it was some of the coolest, most fun shyt I ever did. It was beautiful… only if people don’t ruin the shyt.

So I will always want to go to sea. It’s peaceful af at times and can be chaotic. One of the coolest things I first saw was refueling. We were in a small storm, so I was on my phone taking pictures and shyt looked CRAZY. Like some shyt you would see in the movies or a painting. I still got that pic on FB I think. Imagine all this rough but dark blue water with a grey background with 2 ships beside it trying to fuel with people slipping and sliding all on deck and shyt (non skid, the waves were knocking them off balance). So, depending on the situations it can be cool/fun

A lot of people get sick first few days or their first time out and they give you these pills (or yu buy them.. I forgot. Only needed to use it once) and thats because the ship is always rocking. Sometimes you barely notice it, but depending on the size of the ship. I never had the pleasure of being on a carrier, so sometimes you would have to place a foot or 2 on something to steady yourself. Everything bolted down except the weights in the gym
