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
