One view from Stephen’s room on the third deck showed the waves completely blacking out the windows as the side of the ship was submerged.
The video has gone viral since it was shared online.
It has been viewed more than 5.5 million times on YouTube, with hundreds of viewers sharing their own reactions.
One viewer commented: “For the life of me how do you keep so calm? I’d be in serious panic mode.”
Others were more impressed, sharing: “Awesome video, amazing view!” and “What an incredible experience!”
One viewer had personal experience with the event, writing: “My wife and I were on that ship!!! It was crazy scary but I will definitely cruise again.”
Another viewer wrote: “I’m nearly having an anxiety attack just watching this, yet you’re all so calm.”
Royal Caribbean released a statement in February last year after the incident occurred.
The cruise line said it was “grateful for the safe return” of the guests and crew.
It added: “We apologise for exposing our guests and crew to the weather they faced, and for what they went through.
“Our ship and our crew performed very well to keep everyone safe during severe weather. Of more than 6,000 people on board, only four minor injuries were reported.
“The severity of Sunday’s storm, with its 120-mph winds, far exceeded forecasts. Even so, it is our responsibility to eliminate every surprise we possibly can.”
Another video captured Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 cruise ship battling a ferocious storm.
