The cruise ship Anthem of the Seas was rocked by large waves spawned by tropical cyclone Hermine over the weekend.

After leaving Bayonne, New Jersey, on Friday on its way to Bermuda, it crossed paths with the storm, creating a harsh ride that left some passengers complaining.

Passenger Robert McHugh recorded a video of the storm, showing waves crashing into the Royal Caribbean ship. “The seas were churning up a little bit,” McHugh told NBC New York. “There were a lot of people who weren’t feeling well.”

The Anthem of the Seas has been involved in several high-profile incidents, including one in Feb. 7, 2016, where the ship was struck by “extreme wind and sea conditions.”  On June 30, as the ship was sailing from Bayonne, N.J, an 8-year-old boy was found unresponsive in the ship’s pool and was airlifted to a nearby hospital. He was pronounced dead at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City two days later.
