Cruise Ship Tipped Over

Most tips on cruise ships are really service charges which is one of the reasons why cruise lines seem to be moving towards adding a flat fee to your onboard account rather than make the tip amount entirely optionalNew cruisers need to realize that most cruise lines do not pay their service staff a living wage and tips or service charges make up most of their compensation.

Cruise ship tipped over. Well it doesnt prevent people from worrying that at some unlucky moment such a jumbo ship can flip over. However there are several important factors. This is a personal decision and Im not sure if theres a tipping etiquette for it.

This Italian cruise ship ran aground on a reef off the coast of Tuscany Italy in January 2012 and toppled onto its side. Now if the center of gravity were in the middle of the ship 31 m above the water line it would indeed not be very stable - any tilt beyond 25 would cause it to tip over. In case of an emergency or rough seas it helps to keep the ship balanced counter the waves and reduce rocking.

At least three people were killed after a giant cruise ship with more than 4000 people ran aground and tipped over near the Italian island of Giglio. In general cruise ships dont tip over even in rough seas. Even a large mass like a cruise ship will stay afloat due to the principle of buoyancy the mass is equal to the upward pressure of the water.

The ship tilted for at least 15 seconds and furniture and people were falling and flying. Sinse it doesnt happen but ships that tip even 30 can cause very serious injury. The cruiseships are not islands so Im sure they wouldnt tip over.
