For most, the notion of a bad time on a luxurious vacation aboard a cruise ship is eating some rotten shellfish at a local port. For the unlucky passengers aboard the British cruise ship Balmoral, their 10 days of basking in the lap of luxury went awry when the cruise ship encountered 50 ft. seas and 60 mph gale force nine winds.
