A cruise ship in high seas has to close its pool when, well, this happens.

Noobs.

Tell engineering to reroute power to the inertial dampers. Duh.

Wow I didn't know a boat that size would pitch so much in the waves.

Wow, that's really interesting. They must have changed directions abruptly or something. I see storm clouds. Maybe they were clearing waves at just the right frequency.

given the music you'd think this pool was located in the elevator.

They do pitch noticeably even on calmer seas, but you get used to it. Rougher stuff and maybe you'll be bumping into the walls on the way back to your stateroom, but unless you're in a hurricane I don't think things would be really dangerous if you're belowdecks.

I can only guess that it was rocking with enough amplitude at the right frequency to get the pool going...

closed?!?

oh, come on you pansies! last one in's a rotten egg!

cannonbaaaaaaaaaohh fuck!

psst. mg's right. not gonna' learn a fuckin' thing about physics from this.
waves in a moving pool are intuitively obvious.
it's only the degree to which they're on display that's interesting.
but hey, that's up to rembar, who is notoriously, and often rightfully, stingy. cheers!

Oh yeah! I was on a Royal Caribbean cruise some years ago and the boat pitched a lot when crossing into mexican waters. When walking down the hall you would feel the floor push up on you then all of the sudden feel it lift away, like a yo-yo elevator. It's great fun especially with alcohol =D
