Such floating hotels have no business venturing into that part of the world, IMHO...

Hey Joe,

There's a reason why real Ocean Liners that plied the North Atlantic year-round had a lengthy foredeck, substantial breakwaters, and the superstructure set well aft of the bow...

Watching that ugly-ass shoebox stuff itself into those seas, the superstructure exposed to the full force of them rolling right over that pathetic excuse for a bow, well - that's the reason...

Just a matter of time, before one of these vessels gets into some SERIOUS trouble down there, and help is not so close at hand, as it luckily was in the recent sinking of the Linblad Explorer...

best regards,

Jon
