VIDEO: New Zealand Cruise Ship Chaos

Well, it’s not all THAT chaotic, but there is some interesting video of chairs hurtling along a deck of the Pacific Sun (of P&O Cruises).

The rumpus was caused by a really, really bad storm.

How bad was it? 40 passengers were injured (some with broken bones).

How bad was it? The waves were 23-feet high.

How bad was it? One woman texted a “Goodbye-I’m-Going-to-Die” message to her family.

Never would have happened if they followed the code I live by: Avoid boats in storms.

Even MORE vacations from hell

Radar Online has a new and improved list of places you don’t ever wanna see.

And I thought this list would be hard to top. I humbly stand corrected.

Radar’s list includes diseased petting zoos, brain-damaging midway rides and a hotel in Virginia Beach that Radar says “has plenty of availability since it won traveladvisor.com’s distinction as the dirtiest hotel in the United States.”

Oh, and don’t miss the section on cruises, where you can take your pick of “rampant food poisoning” or capture by Somali pirates.
