Here is Marco Polo in Dover,filmed from Century :) (what is the black smoke coming from MP's bow? :shock: ) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6637176205128013182&q=Cruise+ship

It appears to be exhaust from a poorly tuned diesel engine driving the bow-thruster.

What a lovely, happy video :D Yes, that black smoke did not look good :shock: , but evidently, nothing serious.....though a tune-up should be on her schedule!

Great videos, Galaxy! Smoke is a little scary on Marco Polo...but I hope is nothing serious. She is a beautiful ship!

I found a new clip of Voyager in a cyclone.. WARNING!!! if u have trubble to get sea sick,dont look :wink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVoMtPFtEg0&NR

Now that is scary, Galaxy! :shock: I am glad I was not onboard!

Thanks for the videos Galexy, they are great. I loved the Marco Polo one, but I agree the smoke is a bit worrying. As for the the second vidoe :sick: :sick: :sick: There were times it looked like she was just gong to keep rolling until she went over.

WOW, Galaxy, unbelievable of Voyager :shock: I remember that when it was happening, but never saw any pictures, before :D

Voyager
Made me feel quite queasy :sick:

Makes the Bay of Biscay look like a millpond!

Much too scary for me. I couldn't tell if the ship was making any forward movement. Don't remember the event, but have to wonder how did they get caught in such a storm.

This happened soon after her sister ship, Explorer, was battered in the Pacific ( see forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=20416#20416" target="_blank">http://cruise.11.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=20416#20416 ) Quite a coincidence that both experienced such rough seas so near in time but half a world apart. Both ships were soon back in service and, so far, have not had any further bad experiences. At one time, there was a video clip taken inside Explorer after the damage occured and while she was powerless in heavy seas.

Yes, I remember the clip from Explorer......ship was full of Semester at Sea students......they were all fine, but lots of frantic parents
