this morning passengers describing a terrifying experience after a rogue wave slammed into
this cruise ship killing an American woman and injuring four others according to the
Associated Press guys
you said you turned the boat around [Music]
hey we're Emily and Danny and we've been traveling with our pets for four years by Van ever since
we made it from Alaska to Argentina we've been trying to get to the seventh continent
Antarctica [Music]
did not think it was gonna work out I even recorded a couple videos telling you guys
we weren't going to be able to make it but we did we found a blaze for Graham so we're
going to Antarctica in just two days oh we just dropped off Graham and I am pretty sad
it's such a weird feeling because I have like a crazy Adrenaline Rush from going to Antarctica
in a couple hours and you know being on this boat that we're gonna that is gonna be Crossing
through icebergs and everything like that and at the same time I'm like my heart hurts
because I saw grin's face when I walked out and he was like
his litter his food and water before we even left he had already ate food drank water and
peed so I know he's comfortable in that place I'm just like a little sad that I'm not gonna
be able to bring him with us I'm not going to be able to see him for 10 days we're not
even going to really have service to know how he's doing some brita's dog sitter has
an Instagram that he's going to be posting pictures of her on I gave Graham's cat sitter
my mom's number so he's going to be sending pictures of Grandma to her you have contact
with our family so that if anything goes wrong they'll be able to talk to them and they'll
be able to like help them make decisions but nothing's going to go wrong I'm just making
sure but the guy said is going to be with that has her food already and we just have
to bring in some toys for her and then also her food bowl and I'm gonna leave him with
her sleeping bag as well just like Graham they're both gonna have a little bed to sleep
on that smells like the van does have a couch it looks like he lets the dogs on and you
know how
be playing with dogs all week which is good for her I mean just being at a dog park 24
hours a day for 10 days is gonna wear this puppy out
it's hard to say goodbye to somebody that with a whole bunch of dogs around because
she doesn't really care have you seen his packing she has been in the van for at least
10 minutes without Graham in here [Music]
so let's get to the boat [Music] I can't like try to put this thing on [Music] foreign
oh my gosh you guys I want you to understand how hard Emily works on these videos look
at this we are on the boat and and what are you doing the video is 77 uploaded I hope
that you guys like it and I'm excited to put this away and enjoy our time and make a new
video and we're loving this room first things first I got a shower like right off the bat
this window actually there's buttons like over here and that controls like you can you
can make the whole window open on sensors and everything is Emily's closet right here
it's like a corner she likes it oh my gosh babe you gotta clean up your room my area
huge the next closet over has those life jackets that we had to use this shower is sweet oh
my gosh so you know for us pretty big upgrade to have a shower I'm so stoked this is so
nice the reason why I'm uploading this video right now is because we are not gonna have
any Wi-Fi or Internet or anything for the next 10 days so we're going to be like actually
Off the Grid it's also going to be super nice to disconnect from everything while we enjoy
the beautiful nature that we're going to see but during our welcome the crew was talking
about how windy it's going to be going across the Drake Passage and the doctor even said
uh anyone that doesn't have motion sickness pills money come see me and we'll talk about
what medications that you are already taking and what you should probably take so we're
about to take some motion sickness pills sending out your last messages before you can't get
use the internets yeah I'm not able to use my phone because we're using it to upload
this video if they don't feed us soon there's gonna be a mutiny on board oh he's official
we're on the road boy we brought our own provisions on this boat and this whole bottle of whiskey
costs five dollars they're selling one drink up there for eight so I think we did a pretty
good you're gonna try on your parka let's do it you like it
thank you for your help this is where we've been staying and the internet was pretty terrible
there so I'm assuming at this point we will no longer have internet here we go
what do you think Emily
just a couple pieces of vegetables not even any starches
[Music]
foreign
a bit of a dramatic thing here I guess our passage has been pretty crazy and a window
broke this morning in the around the restaurant so we're having breakfast in the room they
said like just stay in your room for a little bit longer so yeah we're gonna have breakfast
in here honestly pretty crazy waves bon appetit whenever we saw this boat we were like wow
you know this isn't gonna be like anything crazy it's not really it's like a cruise ship
like not really an adventure thing and then last night during the orientation they put
up a picture of the wind speeds and one of the crewmen she covered her mouth she was
like and then she like looked around and she said good luck to us and I was like uh I'm
glad that last night we took some sick sickness pills I don't know it's kind of scary yeah
that a window has broken like we were woken up this morning to a over loud speaker saying
like Delta Delta help for emergency repair and the sushi bar like what do you think that
means and I whenever they said it I kind of figured there's just plates all over the place
because it because it really did kind of throw our stuff around a bit nothing like broke
or anything but so I figured that's kind of what was happening there the captain came
on for the wake-up call and he said that a window broke this is a little bit more of
an extradition than I originally thought I thought it was going to be a smooth sailing
Cruise an enormous boat I expect the waves to get a bit smoother in about two hours or
so while we are approaching the facilities of the island around Cape Horn you said you
turn the boat around so unfortunately we can see land now Captain said that we're not going
all the way back to ashwaia but just into the Beagle channel so that they can fix the
window with Commerce Seas we're really hoping that they just fix it and we can keep going
back south we'll see what happens it was pretty crazy this morning and last night we could
hear all of our stuff rolling around so it was kind of hard to sleep I didn't think it
was that bad enough to break a window I did see like waves crashing against the side of
the boat luckily we're on the highest deck so they don't really crash into us and so
it wasn't loud or scary or anything for us really moving around really hard to stand
up I'm sure the crew is working super hard last night me just standing up and walking
around to see to look out the window was hard but anyways yeah we're gonna go down for lunch
lunch is a buffet with lots of options or veggies it makes me feel a lot better than
the first dinner more importantly we were able to chat with people and heard all the
rumors the big wave broke the window on the starboard side and my dad taught me Port is
left and they're both four letter words and I also remember with passenger and starboard
are also longer words than driver and Port anyway the people were thrown from their beds
railings ripped off from balconies and things rolling around rooms so now that we've checked
out the aftermath we're going to work and wait for some more news from the captain we
will do what we can do to the best of our capabilities if necessary throughout the night
but there's certain things that's the reason why we go to bushwire well in external tools
material and certified Wireless stuff like that we don't have that on board and some
of these balls fear of a lot of them are at least 60 and what we're doing now is drilling
out welding nuts on top of whatever is left of right ball to be able to get it out and
the good news is we're down to less than eight of them which needs to be done and that is
part of why we need external help so this vessel will not get out of service forever
but I can't promise you is that it will be in the morning by 6 8 10 12 this would be
a wild guess and I'm not going to make it any wild guess so there is a deadline because
at some stage it doesn't make any sense anymore to the router if it is for 36 hours down there
why spend four and a half days going up and down you're not able to fulfill that work
is Promised in approach
actually water so we had ways
waves bigger than usual if you look at the balconies on Deck five and six the handrails
are gone and they are diagonally so the wave we have to win them the wave coming from our
Starwood side after and that went there kicked the window in and took some of the handrails
and the railings off I'm almost
on a scale from what give it a seven seven yeah there's definitely more to the Drake
member this one wave definitely ruins a trip okay I am just so upset because we just went
to dinner we were so sad because of fan art because not happening and then we got this
the paper so basically we're gonna miss one day in Antarctica if things go as well as
possible you're supposed to have five days there right and so instead of having five
days we're supposed to have four on this trip but they say here in recognition of the missed
days we would like to offer you a complimentary Voyage on any ship on any itinerary they don't
expect you to be living in a van right here and even if we don't want to take like a whole
nother free trip which we would be insane not to I don't understand why not they will
give us 30 off on this trip and I assume most people are going to get 30 off the screws
but I kind of want to take the whole free trip take a very very expensive trip for free
yeah I mean the hard part is like the pets you know like you feel bad I miss Graham I
miss somebody I miss Grandma I missed one burrito too there's a moment we all have been
waiting for I will try to raise the attention a bit more we crossed the post hurdle yeah
you know the paperwork is finished good news we're back at sea see look at this we're moving
we're coming out of the beagle Channel and we're making our way to the Drake Passage
again this time it's gonna be a lot easier the weather has moved and the wind has calmed
down a lot and we're really hoping for a lot Chiller night the boat is 100 now even better
actually because the window has a steel plate it's kind of a window it was funny that the
captain was annoyed with the Argentinian Coast Guard because they asked her one paper at
a time like oh no you need that paper and you need that paper and all I could think
about was every border crossing that we've done oh they're like oh do you have this paper
and they asked for them oh one at a time and you're like why didn't you just ask me for
all the favors or like write down what you need or something like that yeah we're actually
pretty lucky considering because one of these other boats two other boats had to turn back
and one above the six Windows got torn out some of those were cabins of people so that
would be a bit upsetting at 6am to have our window removed suddenly uh you know a bunch
of water could have taken their belongings I don't know what happened to those folks
pretty curious about that crazy so you know in our boat there's just one window and we're
on the way again we're so excited to keep heading to Antarctica if you like this video
