(CNN/WAVY) – Many people in the Hampton Roads area sat through last week’s blizzard at home. Imagine riding it out on the high seas.
A Norwegian cruise ship sailed through the blizzard from the Bahamas to New York – and a few passengers caught it on video.
Some passengers said they felt “traumatized” and that their lives were put in danger.
According to a statement from Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the Norwegian “Breakaway” encountered stronger than forecasted weather conditions during the winter storm.
Several inches of snowfall were seen in many areas along the eastern seaboard – including Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina.
The ship’s captain adjusted the speed and direction to maintain the safest possible route.
NCL issued an apology to any passengers who were inconvenienced.
