They're not great on the wavey trips, for sure.
But they're fairly stable things. I just would never take a cruise because A) I'm under 70 and B) old people are renowned for their ability to steal your youth through osmosis.

draft is only 8 metres, length 333...However all the stuff above main deck is pretty light compared to the heavy machinery sitting in the hull of the ship. Stabilisers are huge, so looks are deceptive.
