These Terrifying Videos From People Trapped On A Cruise Ship During A Storm Will Freak You Out

Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas is en route back to New Jersey after hitting unexpected weather conditions, the cruise company told BuzzFeed News.

"[The ship] experienced extreme wind and sea conditions, with wind speeds higher than what was forecasted," a company spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson added that the decision to nix the cruise entirely was made because further bad weather was forecast.

"We are also sensitive to the fact that our guests have already been through an uncomfortable ride," the statement said. "Returning to Cape Liberty minimizes the risks of further bad weather affecting our guests' voyage; we are optimistic that they will have a smooth sail home."

Another passenger told the Weather Channel that the experience left her "shaking all over."

"Panic attack, things like that," Shara Strand said. "I've been on over 20 cruises, I've been through a hurricane, it was never like this. Never. Everyone is saying they never saw anything like last night."

The cruise line said all the passengers would receive a full refund and a 50% discount off a future cruise in recognition of their troubles.

"We appreciate the patience and cooperation of our guests," Royal Caribbean said. "We know it was tough day on Sunday and apologize for their discomfort. We also thank our captain and crew for guiding the ship safely back to better weather."
