At least sixteen people suffered minor injuries after an Australian cruise hit Pítara waters while navigating the Southern Island of New Zealand last month.
The passengers aboard the princess of the crown were on a 14 -day excursion from Sydney, Australia, when the ship changed course and found strong winds near Milford Sound on February 25.
The images from inside the ship's kitchen showed that the container leaned drastically to the side, which caused large food lots to spill, sending the staff to run and disperse a variety of kitchen equipment.
Additional video shows the pool that overflows and passengers at the throat tables of the canteen to avoid sliding it.
A man recalled at the time he realized that the ship was no longer in an vertical position.
“I was walking doing my lap and everything suddenly realized that the boat was at an angle,” he said.
Another passenger said that the tables and chairs flew around the canteen and that girl slipped through the room in her chair.

Meanwhile, the on -board stores were left in Jirones, and the staff had the task of gathering merchandise scattered throughout the floor.
According to reports, the ship inclined more than 14 degrees for 40 seconds.
Of the 16 injured, 13 were passengers and three were a crew, according to 7 News Australia.
In a statement to Cruise Hive, Princess Cruises said: “On February 25, while in Fiordland, New Zealand, the princess of the crown found strong winds during a change of course, which caused the ship to tilt briefly beyond its usual movement before stabilizing. Our crew responded quickly to correct the situation, and at no time did the safety of the ship commit. ”
“In addition, a small amount of water from the pool of the Lido cover briefly entered the Horizons food court, but the area was cleaned and reopened quickly. There was no structural damage to the ship. “
The cruise, which has 3,090 passengers, did not suffer damage and continued to its destination after the incident, reported 7 News Australia.
