Cruises are meant to be the height of luxury, and the type of holiday one should aspire to take. And rightly so.

After all, you’re on a huge ship full of restaurants, bars, and staff catering to your every need. And you’re stopping off in glamorous places.

However, as this video shows, cruise ships are at the mercy of the weather, and if one gets caught in a storm, a vacation can soon turn from a dream into a nightmare.

This actually puts me off going on a cruise. I’m scared enough of the sea already, even without having it batter the window of my cabin.
