Original: Watch: King Tide, rough waves rock ocean cruises
A period of king tide, the highest tides of the year, has combined with rough waves to rock cruise ships along the coast. Footage shows vessels being jolted by heavy seas, raising concerns among passengers and prompting attention from local news. Meteorologists note king tides occur when the sun and moon align to pull hardest on the oceans, amplifying the effect of storm-driven waves on ships in port and at sea.
