WATCH: Incredible Time-Lapse Video of Massive Storm Rocking NJ Cruise Ship

NEW JERSEY — What’s it like to be aboard a cruise ship as it encounters hurricane force winds? The experience was captured on video by employees of a New York-based digital marketing agency, who were aboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas when it encountered severe weather off the coast of the Carolinas earlier this week.

The employees set up a camera on their balcony cabin before the cruise ship departed from Bayonne for a seven-day cruise to the Bahamas.

A day later, the ship was caught in strong winter storm with hurricane force winds battering the seas and the ship. The camera was rolling the entire time.

Efferent Media posted a two-minute time-lapse video of the footage the camera recorded on its Facebook page Thursday evening, less than 24 hours after the ship docked back in New Jersey. The video includes announcements from the captain of ship and it gives a peek at some of the damage the ship sustained during the storm.

“While the first management team retreat was not what we planned, it certainly brought the team together,” Efferent Media wrote on Facebook.

The seasickness began when the 4,180-passenger cruise ship was caught in a severe winter storm off the coast of the Carolinas.

The ship’s captain reportedly told passengers around 11 a.m. Sunday that the crew would attempt to beat out a big storm, but later warned them to take cover around 3 p.m. when conditions deteriorated, NBC New York reported.

Four people suffered minor injuries during the incident, Royal Caribbean said on Monday.
