My question would be, "where was the vessel?". If a Northeastern is blowing
into the gulf stream then the Captain should have changed course out of the
stream. Somewhat recently, a rather large naval cargo vessel was damaged in a
similar "rouge wave" incident.


Duh! In order to get back to port to disembark the passengers where
they boarded it was necessary to cross the Stream! And since when
has it come to pass that passengers feel they are entitled to encounter
no dangers at sea?

Duh yourself, bozo! Charleston is somewhat west of the gulfstream and most
likely the nearest post. What's the point about passengers encounter no dangers
at sea?

You are both stupid and ignorant.

"The 965-foot white ocean liner was sailing back to New York from the Bahamas
when it was struck by a storm Saturday that pounded the vessel with heavy seas
and the rogue 70-foot wave."

You must cross the Gulf Stream sailing from the Bahamas to get to New York or
Charleston.

The point about passengers is they are ignorant *******s in your league if they
expect to go to sea and be guaranteed to be free from danger. The way some of
them whined and cried because they got tossed around a bit makes them out
to be total wimps in my humble opinion.

Now, go **** yourself!

Come on needledick, I'm surprised with your obvious education, experience and
background, that's the best you can write.

This sounds awfully like, "Who do we blame/sue for this?" The tour company?
The weatherman? I can understand their disappointment, but most of those
cruise tickets are sold at "discount" prices, to people looking for a real
deal for their vacation. Don't they assume some responsibility for the
ships being constructed for the majority of expected weather patterns, not
the extremes? If one looks at statistics of how many vacations are altered
by adverse weather conditions, one might better understand the popularity of
trip insurance.

Indeed this is the same as hitting heavy turbulences in an airplane and the
last one I heard from had many more injured, some severely. Get trip insurance
and keep your seatbelt tighten for the whole duration of the trip in an
airplane.
