Even a 30' Bay of Fundy tide wouldn't have helped them, they needed to look out of the windows.
Must have been having a 'heated discussion of company policy"
It is a ferry though, not a cruise ship
http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/23179/An investigation has been launched after the grounding of a ferry on the Croatian island of Sit on Saturday, The Croatian Times reports.
The news-site reports that the 128-metre Marco Polo, operated by Jadrolinija Rijeka was on its regular Rijeka-Split-Dubrovnik-Bari run when it ran aground at around 2.50am.
None of the 41 passengers and 64 crew were hurt, the Croatian Times reports.
Given that the grounding occurred in fine weather and that the ship did not appear to have suffered a technical failure, it has been speculated that the accident was caused by human error, the news-site adds.
The captain was not on board at the time, with the ship under the command of his deputy.
