The thread on Cruise Critic is filled with similarly overwrought hysteria. No doubt this event had the potential to be serious but no one died, most survived unharmed, an elderly couple suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries, a handful of others have bumps and bruises. Everyone now has an exciting story to tell particularly those passengers choppered off in high winds and driving rain.
