Looks like a ship that isn't really ready for that kind of sea. Top heavy and too much glass. Just a disaster waiting to happen.

A story on tv just now says it is a "converted private yacht" that has broken down four times in the past 18 months while cruising in various strange places.

Bet the buffet line is short.....Refund anyone?

Didn't the same thing happen to another one a couple of years ago?? The bridge got swept by a wave.
