I've been following this thread as we sailed this same route on Anthem recently ourselves. The only comment I wanted to put out there was regarding the two separate pictures those two guys posted of themselves standing upright in their cabins while the room around them is clearly tilted (the one guy is giving the thumbs up).
I copied those pictures and took on good faith they are an accurate representation of the two guys standing upright while the ship was tilted.
Remarkably, both photos have nice straight lines between fixed points of reference (the closet shelf for the one guy and the door frame for the other) and their body line.
Now, we can never know if these photos were taken at the peak of the ship rolling (but we could probably get time stamps from the guys that took them), but we can still measure them. You know what was interesting? Both of them, by my admittedly crude drawing and measuring, were pretty similar.
Any guesses on the angle I measured?
I came up with 11 degrees.
It's very possible the rolling became much worse later, or they took a picture doing a not so bad roll, or they failed to capture the peak. But in those photos, I measured them at 11 degrees.
If anybody else wants to do the same, I'd be curious to see what you come up with.
