Elevators on board most ships have sensors that are designed to shut off the elevator if the roll exceeds 4º, so basically you would be stuck.

I have been in weather that bad and worse, however it was on ships that were prepared for it, so stuff doesnt move around like that. I have taken rolls that exceeded 40º, which is too much for you to stand, you basically just hold on.
