On September 4, The Passengers on Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas ship endured a choppy, stomach-churning ride as the Bermuda-bound cruise liner steered into Post-Tropical Cyclone Hermine.
In February the same 16-deck cruise ship suffered damage after sailing into hurricane-force winds and 30-foot waves off the coast of North Carolina.
It was early Sunday morning when the ship started swaying, a passenger said, and in the restaurant, dishes “were going all over the place” amid large swells.
The rocky ride was “exciting for me,” he said, though he said that other passengers became seasick.
After their “exciting” Sunday, Monday morning appeared to be smooth sailing, reports indicate.
Owen Torres, spokesperson for Royal Caribbean, said the ship, which departed from New Jersey, arrived in Bermuda on time the next day morning.
“While sailing yesterday, our captain informed guests that we had experienced higher winds and gusts for a 2-3 hour period,” Torres said. “We’ll continue to share weather information with our guests throughout their trip.”
Torres did not immediately comment about passenger illnesses.
