Today, we are having the biggest swells we’ve experienced so far this cruise. They’re not bad, and the ship is barely rolling.
Based on the movement of the ship, I suspect that the ship’s stabilizers are deployed.
Stabilizers are winglike structures in the hull under the waterline that can be extended. They reduce the roll (side to side motion), giving guests a more comfortable ride.
Pitch, the up and down motion at the bow and stern, cannot be controlled. We don’t have very much pitch today, either. To gauge the pitch, I usually close one eye and look down the balcony railing to watch the horizon rising and falling.
If you watch carefully, you can see the very gentle roll we’re experiencing as we sail toward Ålesund. I braced my phone on the stateroom wall to ensure that the only movement captured is the ship’s. I also zoomed the camera to 9X magnification, so it might be a little exaggerated.
While it’s quite calm, this gentle roll is something that I thoroughly enjoy. It’s only slightly noticeable to me. Others might disagree.
So very peaceful. We’re sailing very slowly and the water is so calm.
