He was definitely outnumbered.

That furniture looked like waves on the beach- freaky.

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.

40 degrees !!!

That makes the urinal empty all over your nice white cruisewear
But makes a great venue for good distance in a " Hurling Chunks " Contest
