Cruise ship captain Wendy Williams rates eight cruise ship disasters in movies and television shows for their realistic portrayals. Discover how cruise ships handle iceberg strikes, rogue waves, and tsunamis in classic films like “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972), the iconic sinking scene in “Titanic” (1997), and the intense capsized vessel scenario in “Poseidon” (2006). Explored are also the portrayal of health and safety concerns onboard in popular TV shows such as “The Simpsons” S23E19 (2012), the boat jail scene in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” S11E9 and E10 (2016), and the unsettling cruise ship holiday in “Triangle of Sadness” (2022), starring Woody Harrelson. Williams also evaluates the plausibility of cruise ship systems being corrupted in “Deep Rising” (1998) and the shipwreck sequence in “Speed 2: Cruise Control” (1997), featuring Willem Dafoe and Sandra Bullock.
With over 30 years of experience in the maritime industry, Wendy Williams brings her extensive knowledge gained from passenger vessels to the fishing industry. Having served as a cruise ship captain for five years, she has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first Canadian woman to captain a major cruise ship brand, Virgin Voyages.
