two years ago we went to the southern Caribbean on Sun Princess. there were
20' swells coming out of Port Everglades.
I was fine, but my wife was out cold on gravol and travel dots. she slept
like a baby until it was over. There were a lot of sick people that day.
This can be expected as you are on the open water.
Our captain moved to the leeward side of any island he could find and that
helped al lot.
too bad you had a bad experience, but sailing can be rocky at times.
Overall, we had a blast.
We are going to Tahiti in January for 11 days on the Tahitian Princess. We
are fully expecting a few rough days as it is that time of the year in the
South Pacific.
