"Thanks for confirming why I will never cruise," one person wrote.

"Why go on a cruise its hurricane season," another pointed out.

The Royal Caribbean cruise was set to depart for the Bahamas around 4 p.m. on Friday.

"It just turned crazy," witness Jenn Stancil told local outletFox 35. "It looked like a scene from the movie 'Twister' is exactly what I thought, because you see these chairs flying up in the air."

Other witnesses on Twitter posted their own footage of the storm and the chaos that ensued on board.

Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to雷竞技手机版's request for comment but confirmed toFox 35in a statement that the ship "encountered a sudden gust of high winds," which lasted for a "brief period," and shared that there were no serious injuries reported on board.

Thankfully, the ship safely reached its destination in CocoCay island, off the coast of Nassau in the Bahamas, and completed its 3-day-long itinerary.
