We are currently on the Sapphire Princess on our way to Antarctica. We left San Pedro on Friday, December 2 and will disembark January 4, 2023 in Buenos Aires. Read the news about the rogue wave incident on the Viking Polaris last night, it's a bit unnerving!
We've been on a (what was once called "tiger cruise") Naval ship when our son was deployed and on his way back to Camp Pendleton. We met in Hawaii and experienced being a Marine with him for almost a week, a once in a lifetime experience. The ship didn't have stabilizers, our last night was horrendous. It rocked & rolled all night long, so much so I went from hitting the wall of my bunk to holding onto a rail on the other side so I didn't fall out. Heard a TV crash to the floor, it was bad. We don't mind the rocking & rolling but this night was a scary sleepless night.
Hoping for the best! Our thoughts and prayers are with the passengers and families of the Viking Polaris.
