Watch The Terrifying Moment a Cruise Ship Suddenly Tilted While In Ocean

Passengers traveling to Seattle aboard the Carnival Legend cruise got an adventure they didn't expect when the boat titled to a knee-buckling degree. On August 29, the ship was returning after a week-long excursion around Alaska when water from the upper deck swimming pools came pouring down on the decks below. Videos show terrified passengers grabbing poles while others show plates crashing on the kitchen floor. We spoke with passengers about the stomach-churning ordeal. #InsideEdition

I do appreciate the 40 people in the restaurant that thought moving to one side would help a 100, 000 ton vehicle.

I’d feel like such a douche when I realized the ship wasn’t sinking after I elbowed those old ladies to get to the life boats first.

"Terrified passengers." Guy ordering beer at bar.

Shoutout to the 20 people in the restaurant that saved the day by moving to the other side of the restaurant to counteract the ships 220, 00 ton weight. Absolute hero’s

Lol “holding onto each other for dear life” they were literally just standing 🤨

I love how everyone acts so surprised, like you're at sea. These things can happen

i find it hilarious how 10 people moved from one side of the dining room to the other in an attempt to stop the ship from tilting. true heroes

As someone who enjoys cruises, the one time I went on a Carnival ship was THE WORST experience I've had. I was on Carnival Triumph (before it caught fire) and I've heard nothing but bad things about it. I've been on nine separate cruises and Carnival stuck out as the bottom of the pile. If you want to go on a cruise, Royal Caribbean is the way to go.

“Holding on for dear life” literally just elderly people standing at the bar. The steering gear issue they’re talking about happens all the time on ships, but generally the seized prop free’s itself before anyone would notice. There was exactly zero risk of the ship going down, worst thing that could’ve happened is they spun around in circles for a few hours

inside edition is just so good at turning somewhat frightening events into complete catastrophic disasters

"passengers question if they should shift their balance of weight to make the ship upright"
ship capacity: 2, 124 passengers ship weight: 88, 500, 000kg average weight: 88 x 2124 = 186, 912kg
88, 500, 000/2 = 44, 250, 000. yeah they aint tippin that ship anytime soon

“Shift their balance of weight”
Man at 0:31 : where do you need me? I’ve trained my whole life for this moment.

This happens more often than you would think. I was on a cruise out of miami and they turned to get out of the way of some rain that was coming in the pool overflowed and just went down all the drains they had on the deck.

(AMAZING TRIP) I see a lot of people bashing Carnival for this incident. My Wife and I along with her family were on this cruise. The ship turned abruptly and tilted and Yes initially it was kind of scary because we didn't know what was going on but some of these people blew this out of proportion. The ship was tilted for maybe 15 seconds before it returned back to normal. The water was calm and we had just passed a large cargo ship. This was a long way from a "disaster". Carnival quickly fixed the problem and we were back on track. The crew of the Carnival Legend were marvelous. It truly was a wonderful trip and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see Alaska from the comforts of a cruise ship.

Ship: is doing a Ship thing.
People on Board: 🤯😭

[cthumann]

Ohhhh, it was carnival. Don’t their tickets have a disclaimer that you’ll experience about 2-3 malfunctions per cruise?
