Explorer of the Seas ran into hurricane-strength winds of 102 km/h, causing the ship to tip to one side. The sudden tilt sent plates, glasses, and other loose items sliding and crashing to the floor.
Several medical alerts were announced, likely due to injuries or people feeling unwell.
All outside decks have been closed, and passengers were asked to return to their cabins so the crew can check that everyone is safe.
The ship was sailing from Barcelona to Miami on a 12-night cruise but now it has changed direction and is heading back, possibly to the Canary Islands. Rumor onboard suggests one of the stabilizers might not be working, which could explain the course change.
