Royal Caribbean’s Empress of the Seas ship was caught up the roiling seas just off the coast of Isla de la Juventud, Cuba, according to CNN.

In February 2016, another Royal Caribbean cruise ship was caught in rough seas in the Atlantic Ocean, with passengers sharing harrowing video of the storm rolling through gigantic waves.

And a series of storms in the Gulf in 2017 also disrupted travel for the cruise lines.

The passenger on the above ship told CNN the ship hung out for a few hours waiting for the bands from the storm to pass and then continued on its way.
