Terrified cruise passengers sent “goodbye messages” fearing they would “die like on the Titanic” when a freak storm tipped the ship “45 degrees”.
Dan So was leaving a pub quiz on board a Royal Caribbean cruise from Spain to Miami, US, last Thursday [Nov 7] when he heard “screaming and glasses smashing”. The 41-year-old says he noticed the deck tipping to a “45-degree-angle” and began recording dramatic video of panicked passengers holding tightly to the walls and desks.
The ship had hit a storm off the coast of Tenerife, Spain, and Royal Carribean say one of the guests was injured. Another clip shot after the cruise had stabilised shows items at one of the deck’s shops scattered across the floor as one woman appears to be arguing with staff.
