Tsunami is expected to hit Hawaii within an hour of my writing this. The size of the Tsunami concerning the Pacific is expected to be gauged from Hawaii.

I wonder if any cruise ship webcams will capture it ?

All ports in Hawaii & Guam are closed

Tony, if they do it won't be good for the cruise ship! Normally tsunamis don't get big until they're reaching the coast and run out of space so all that water has to go somewhere and it's UP

I would think they would experience something ? Perhaps the Captain might turn the bow into the wave ?

I'd imagine that most cruise ships would go full power to get out into the open ocean and not be anywhere near a shallow coast. Turning the bow of a cruise ship into a 30 foot wave coming towards you at over 500 mph wouldn't be pretty.
