TROUBLED WATERS

WATCH: Terrifying Moment Cruise Tilts and Injures 13 Passengers

Choppy seas led a Princess Cruises shit to rock back and forth, sending debris flying.

Choppy seas caused 13 voyagers and three crew members to suffer “minor injuries” on a recent New Zealand cruise, with footage uploaded to social media showing scenes of chaos. The ship, named the Crown Princess, took off from Sydney, Australia, for a 14-day trip when the boat was struck by strong winds in Fiordland, New Zealand, on Tuesday. Footage posted to Facebook showed the tense moment the boat rocked side to side as passengers held onto furniture and belongings flew across the floor. Water was also filmed rushing around on the deck. Other footage showed food and broken plates strewn about the kitchen. “Crown Princess encountered strong winds during a course change, causing the ship to briefly tilt beyond its usual movement before stabilizing,” a spokesperson for the company told PEOPLE. “Our crew responded quickly to correct the situation, and at no point was the safety of the ship compromised.”
