Why Modern Megaships Struggle in Rough Seas Compared to Classic Liners
40+ DEGREES: a Royal Caribbean megaship nearly capsizes off Tenerife in hurricane-force winds, while Queen Mary 2 sails straight through the same North Atlantic storms every winter without blinking. Watch the real footage and see the full story of why. What really makes the difference? This video breaks down the real engineering beneath the waterline: hull density, bow design, beam, and why "bigger" doesn't mean "safer" at sea. See the onboard video, the route map and the numbers that explain it. Which ship would YOU rather be on in a storm? Tell us in the comments.
