Passengers Startled When Cruise Ship Comes To A Sudden Stop In Middle Of The Ocean

Passengers on the Pacific Princess cruise ship were quickly snapped out of vacation mode when the captain abruptly changed course mid-trip. Such an unplanned switch could only mean one thing: serious danger. As fears mounted, guests could only speculate about what unknown threat was lurking out in the open sea. Soon, they would discover the terrifying truth—and it was enough to turn many off the ocean for good.

Setting Out To Sea

Passengers boarded the Pacific Princess cruise ship ready to start their vacation and float away from their responsibilities. With their problems behind them and the open ocean in front of them, they expected smooth sailing for the duration of their trip.

670 Aboard

The boat sailed the North Sea and stopped in the British Isles during the 8-day-long excursion. The 670 guests aboard the vessel were nearing the end of their trip as they sailed back to port in Dover, England.

Changed Course

As you can imagine, passengers were startled when, without any warning, the cruise ship changed course. They were winding down from the day and enjoying dinner moments earlier.

Taking Manual Control

Normally, cruise ships have a set course and don't deviate from it. If they do, usually because of a storm or rough seas, it is carefully planned out and executed. So, this sudden change could only mean one thing... and that's danger.
