Cruise Ships Struggle in Rough Waters Because of Their Size

This might not immediately come to mind when thinking about a cruise since most cruise line commercials show ships sailing in calm waters. But no ship is completely immune to rough seas, especially not cruise ships. They may be large, but they’re still fairly top-heavy, and that makes them more prone to rock and sway while navigating through storms and rough seas.

As you might imagine, the experience is not a comfortable one.If you haven’t gotten your sea legs under you yet, then you’re probably going to spend a lot of your time in the bathroom waiting for the water to calm.
