The soup is not advised Sir

A stabilizer failure...
I allready wondered what could make a huge ship roll like that.
I mean to get such a motion inside a cruise ship it must've been quite a storm.

As perhaps one of the few here who has weathered a biscay winter storm on a square rigger I can only laugh at that though.
Even if I didn't laught back in 1999 when it took us days just to sort out our kit from the burst lockers.
The term "mess deck" was to be taken literally.

A real storm is a weird thing, like a 24/7 rollercoaster ride. Not to mention you get wet the very instant you go topsides.
Even if you don't get seasick anymore, you will barely eat anything because the galley is closed.
Cooks are actually the heroes of every storm, because even making sandwiches can get quite difficult when your whole world is constantly rolling around 30-45 deg to each side.
Storm routine is a bit like being drunk, everything is struggle.

Found this one of a 143 missile boat in rough seas
You can hear the order "all stop!" just before they plough into the big wave.
