Passengers aboard Carnival’s Crown Princess experienced a terrifying moment when the ship tilted heavily to one side during a course change near Milford Sound, New Zealand. The incident, caused by strong winds, resulted in 16 minor injuries, including three crew members. The sudden tilt led to water spilling from pools, flooding the buffet area, while plates, cups, and retail items crashed to the floor. One passenger described the moment as “chaos,” recalling how she had to roll out of bed due to the extreme lean. Carnival confirmed the ship stabilised quickly, with no structural damage or safety risks. Crew members responded immediately, cleaning the flooded dining area and ensuring passenger safety. Despite the scare, the 14-day voyage from Sydney to New Zealand continued as scheduled.
