  1. ewwww going next week but to greece hope its safe VIKING !!! top of the line come on

  2. You would think after hundreds years of cruiser ships to build better windows to withstand waves but nah who needs it right save money and let people die or get injured what a nice cruise ship Industry

  3. Going on exotic adventure tourism in the worldโ€™s most remote locations has its risk. Remember the twenty-two exotic adventure tourists that got burning to death visiting an active volcano in New Zealand.

  4. Imagine you save and plan and look forward to a vacation and then โ˜ ๏ธ

  5. 40 seconds news, 17 second dumb begging spiel.

  6. I remember one new year's eve when I was on a cruise liner and it was hit by a rogue wave. I remember it cap sizing and the preacher.. oh wait! That was the Poseidon Adventure. Keep moving. Nothing to see.

  7. ABC News being a shitty news station as usual.

  8. If you know anything about geography then you know the southern ocean is one of the most treacherous bodies of water on the planet why would a cruise ship ever want to sail this area i cannot understand its almost suicidal.

  9. Lusitania 1910, Queen Marry 1942, 1966 SS Michelangelo… Rogue Waves are nothing new. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

  10. a "rogue wave"? IT'S THE OCEAN, CHERYL.

  11. I am angered at the fact that the glass used wasn't thick enough to withstand a wave. ๐Ÿ˜ก Apparently they didn't don't care.

  12. Kinda like the ships WHITE MEN sent full of SLAVES .

  13. Probably the wave almost high as in the poseidon movie.. Scary๐Ÿ˜ฐ

  14. STUPID HUMAN TRICK #27 Floating trump towers

  15. That provided next to no information

  16. I have come this far in life and have never even had a thought about going on one of these cruises until about a week ago when someone asked me if I've ever been on a cruise ship. My immediate response to this question was, "Hell no! I would never trust the waters out there!" Now this video pops up in my feed.

  17. Why were they out on deck or something with those waves?.. I remember when I was on a ship. It started to storm and the ocean was very angry. We all went to our rooms and I went to sleep looking out the window at the waves

  19. What caused the wave is what I'm curious about.

  20. Uhh..did anyone have a cruise ship ad just before this video? ๐ŸŽถTake me to the ocean, take me to the sea๐ŸŽถ Itโ€™s random, but still. Poor taste YT, poor taste. Iโ€™m terrified of being out in the ocean and never would I take a cruise. ๐Ÿ’” This is sad. ๐Ÿซข๐Ÿ˜”

  21. "rouge wave" the wave was where it was supposed to be. The boat wasn't .

  22. So now they Sue the cruiseline for $8 million. The attorneys get 3 million @ continue to bombard everyone with Billboards/ T.V. commercials-they should have known about the wave. Then because of all the advertising more people are sold lawsuits as time goes on students see this they go to college to be an attorney and we live in a litigious society. The judges do nothing to stop it (i.e high awards) as this all creates work for them also. Then.. no one wants to go to work anymore (as evident now) as some
    sit around trying to devise a lawsuit… The last part of this may be a stretch the rest isn't…

  23. Damn, washed out to sea.

  24. "Rogue wave" ๐Ÿ˜• this wave had enough and decided it was going to leave the pack and venture out on its own and become a killer……. Just say a wave

  25. WHAT HAPPENED. MAY I KNOW?
