The vessel rolled heavily, with many passengers and crew members sustaining injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The incident occurred about 750 nautical miles off the coast of Morocco when the ship was transiting the Atlantic from Tenerife, Spain, to Florida.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the squall struck around 7:00 p.m., with wind speeds reaching from 55 to 75 mph.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers described the experience as frightening, with loose items like plates, glassware, and gift shop merchandise scattered throughout the ship.<\/p>\n<p>Some guests posted videos and photographs showing the aftermath of the incident, where fallen bottles and damaged tableware can be seen on the floor.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PIdXXXyx7ao?si=e5ZfEwykgdZDIPgW\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nVideo Credits: Charles Leeds\/YouTube<\/p>\n<p>In response, the captain immediately executed safety measures, asking all passengers to return to their respective cabins. Crew members kept track of everyone on board and assessed injuries.<\/p>\n<p>While most injuries were minor, one passenger required additional medical care, which led the ship to return to Las Palmas, Spain, for medical disembarkation.<\/p>\n<p>The Explorer of the Seas, which has a capacity of 4,290 passengers and 1,185 crew, has already changed its route due to bad weather, stopping in Tenerife rather than other intended destinations.<\/p>\n<p>The storm delay means the ship will now arrive in Miami on November 17, three days later than planned.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers praised the crew and Captain Frank for their quick actions and support throughout the incident. The crew reportedly spent the night cleaning up the damage and checking on guests.<\/p>\n<p><em>References: Cruise Hive, The Street<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    MI News Network<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marineinsight.com\/shipping-news\/watch-inside-footage-of-a-cruise-ship-hit-by-hurricane-force-winds-passengers-injured\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=watch-inside-footage-of-a-cruise-ship-hit-by-hurricane-force-winds-passengers-injured\">Go to marine insight<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch: Inside Footage Of A Cruise Ship Hit By Hurricane-force Winds, Passengers Injured Image for representation purposes only The Explorers of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, was hit by a sudden near hurricane-force winds on November 7, 2024.
