Footage of weather-doomed cruise emerges a year later

Footage from a cruise cut short by severe weather has emerged and it gives viewers an up-front view of what it's like staying on a cruise ship being battered by 120-mile per hour winds and 30-foot seas.

Last year, the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas had to return to port after encountering a storm off the coast of North Carolina.

One of the guests aboard the ship just posted video of their ordeal.  Most of the video was recorded from a room on the third floor of the ship.

Originally posted to YouTube on Friday, the video has been viewed more than a half million times.
