A Royal Caribbean cruise, Explorer of the Seas, encountered a terrifying incident when it tilted 45 degrees due to an unexpected wind gust while traveling from Barcelona to Miami. The ship, carrying over 5,000 passengers and crew, was near Tenerife, Canary Islands, when winds surged from 46 mph to 86 mph. This caused chaos on board, with drinks flying off tables, broken glass, and scattered clothing racks. Passengers struggled to maintain balance as the ship swayed, and one person was injured, requiring medical attention in Las Palmas, Spain. The ship was diverted to provide care and continued its journey to Miami. The Royal Caribbean spokesperson confirmed the incident was due to the wind gusts, and reassured passengers with ongoing updates. The ship is expected to arrive in Miami two weeks later after the diversion
