System, said we have a storm approaching, and im going to put the pedal to the metal. Reporter instead, they got stuck in the middle of it with seas raging to 30 feet and hurricaneforce winds slamming the ship over and over again. We were lucky i guess. We could have all died. You dont race mother nature. Reporter in a video broadcast to passengers the captain said he expected seas of 12 to 15 feet. [ inaudible ] became so intensified. Reporter rapid intensification happened. As for whether or not it was forecasted, the National Weather service wouldnt directly respond.

On wednesday, the nwf indicated hazardous seas were on friday storm warnings were issued with hurricaneforce winds possible.

To me, its inconceivable that the captain or the cruise liner, who was calling the shots here, decided to sail into these conditions with the marine advisories being what they were. Reporter maritime attorney james walker says it likely boils down to money. Cruise ships dont make any money when theyre in port. Reporter when anthem of the seas arrives tonight it will be greeted or met by a team of investigators from the coast guard. They will inspect the damage and make sure necessary repairs are made. As for the passengers, they have a choice tonight. They can leave or stay on board for another night. Those we spoke to today said they will be making their way home but would travel again by sea.
