Royal Caribbean Cruise Faces Chaos as Massive Wave and Winds Cause Damage
Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas was hit by a rogue wave during a transatlantic cruise, causing the ship to list and injuring passengers and crew. The ship, which departed Barcelona on November 2, was forced to return to Spain for a medical disembarkation. Despite efforts to avoid severe weather, unpredictable conditions remain a risk for cruise ships. Meanwhile, Princess Cruises canceled a sailing due to power issues, and Carnival Cruise Line celebrated 20 years of operations from Jacksonville, Florida.
