Review summary
We had 9 wonderful days of a 13 day cruise. Unfortunately, on the 14th day we encountered 40 foot seas and 50 mph gale force winds. Our ship lost all four engines. We were at the mercy of the sea and wind. We were 100 meters from ending up on rocks. A 40 foot wave crashed in on us from 2 decks above. We were under 6 feet of water in our muster station. I thought we would be swept out to sea. I sustained a leg injury. 13 hours later we were air lifted off the ship. The crew was amazing.Embarkation
