Hi, I was on the ship, the pools were emptied about halfway, the videos
are misleading.  The pools have a wide top level which in photos and
videos looks like the deck.  These have about a foot of water and then
the center area which looks like the pool in photos, which is deeper.
Also the water on the starboard side came up to the deck with the
lifeboats hanging above, the seventh deck. Do you think maybe the list
was more severe than reported?

I'd love to get an expert opinion.  I was staring out a 9-ft window on
starboard side, deck 16 and looked only at ocean.  I had to look up to
the top of the window to see the horizon.  The reason there weren't
more injuries is because most people were sleeping, because we had a
7am port call and half the passengers met for excursions at 6:30 am.

Regards,

Patty
