MIAMI (AP) — The Latest on a cruise ship that was damaged in bad weather in the Atlantic Ocean (all times local): 10:55 a.m. A passenger aboard a cruise ship that was damaged in rough seas says the weather forced people to stay in their cabins as items flew across the rooms, but she says the storm calmed less than 12 hours later. Gabriella Lairson said via Facebook on Monday that the storm started about 3 p.m. Sunday. She says the captain of the Royal Caribbean ship Anthem of the Seas instructed everyone to go to their staterooms. Sixteen-year-old Lairson and her father — — of Ocean City, New Jersey — heard glasses in their bathroom shatter, and they put belongings in drawers and closets to prevent them from flying across the room. Video that her father, Sam Lairson, shot shows wave after wave rising outside the balcony. He says in an email, "The winds were so strong that I thought the phone would blow from my hands." Gabriella Lairson says that by about 1:30 a.m. Monday, the storm had calmed. She praised the captain and crew and says the ship held up well, with damage in only a few places. ___ 10:30 a.m. A Royal Caribbean cruise ship ran into high winds and rough seas in the Atlantic Ocean, forcing passengers to stay in their cabins, but no injuries were reported. Royal Caribbean said in a statement Monday that the ship Anthem of the Seas was damaged in some public areas and guest staterooms. Royal Caribbean didn't describe the damages but says the ship's safe to be at sea. The statement doesn't say where or when the ship encountered the bad weather. The ship was headed to Port Canaveral, Florida. Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez says in an email that a noon arrival had been planned, but the weather caused a delay. She says she doesn't have an updated arrival time. She says passengers were asked to stay in their rooms and given complimentary access to their minibars. According to Royal Caribbean's website, the ship departed from Cape Liberty, New Jersey.
