Is she simply rolling or listing?

A ship that size shouldn't ever roll that much. I would imagine that coast is all rock, so if the winds drive the ship aground, it could very well founder and sink or capsize, a la Costa Concordia. Spooky situation to be in.

I wonder what kind of "propulsion problems" would disable a modern cruise liner? I don't think they even use screws as such anymore. They're electric "pods" on outriggers, not steam-powered shaft drives.
