(ABC NEWS) – Passengers who were on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas cruise ship are back on solid ground.

Passenger Peter Aloupis said it felt “exactly” like being in a washing machine when the ship started listing, or tilting, because of the intense winds and turbulent weather.

“We were on the third floor with an ocean view and we literally saw Dory swimming by,” Aloupis said today, referencing the Disney cartoon character.

The Bahamas-bound ship had to turn around and return to New Jersey two days after setting sail because of strong storms off the Carolinas. The ship docked in Bayonne, New Jersey, on Wednesday night.
