Passengers onboard the cruise ship that ’tilted 45 degrees’ started to send out goodbye messages as they feared for their lives

Passengers aboard the cruise ship that ’tilted 45 degrees’ revealed that they sent out goodbye messages after thinking that that they were going to die as a result.

You take a number of risks when you book a cruise ship holiday, but many people probably look past the fact that there is a chance of the ship going down.

Of course, it’s highly unlikely – if not almost impossible – as cruise ships in today’s day and age are incredibly safe and continue to increase in popularity among eager travellers. But this is what those on board Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas experienced earlier this week

One of the cruise line’s luxury experiences, the ship was making its way from Barcelona, Spain to Florida, USA, when it was hit with some freak weather off the coast of Africa, causing the 5,000 crew and passengers to panic slightly.

Some on board were said to ‘stampede’ from the movie theatre, while drinks flew off tables and shops looked like they had been looted.
