Authorities are investigating after the unthinkable occurred when a Princess Cruise ship capsized during a routine voyage, leaving 2,000 passengers stranded in harrowing conditions. The incident, which took place in the early hours of the morning, has shaken the cruise industry and prompted immediate rescue operations.
The ship, which had been en route to a popular Caribbean destination, encountered unexpected rough seas as strong winds and towering waves overwhelmed the vessel. Passengers reported terrifying scenes as the ship listed severely to one side before finally overturning. Many described chaos on board, with passengers scrambling to find lifeboats and emergency exits. Some were forced to abandon their personal belongings in an attempt to escape, while others feared the worst as the ship continued to tilt.
