Default Cruise ship antics?

I heard the cruise ship had R&P steering.

Now when on the helm of the fat sam I had a very hard time

inducing a
30 degree roll, lucky to get a 10 degree roll without

getting caught,
and we were 11 decks abouve the waterline.

I guess the fat sam was not as top heavy as the carnival

ship. I wonder
if the helmsmans was just FN with the passengers, or maybe

they engaged
the autopilot on the wrong course.

Critical injuries....oh my. That ship looks extreamly top

heavy, wonder
whats going to happen if it gets in a major storm, people

are going to
be slapped back and forth between the bulkheads.
