The stabilization tech in the newer ships is just astounding even if it's ridiculous. Massive air jets blowing a constant stream of bubbles beneath the ship inorder to lower friction and increase buoyancy is just so neat plus the extending azipods for tight turn radiuses tighter than older smaller ships... Just insane engineering.
If you would like to know what it would take to rock one though I do in fact know. The waves were 9.1m or 30feet high and wind speed at 125mph. Ship listed about 14° at the maximum which was enough to bend door frames in the interior ship, however the ship is actually rated to survive a list of over 45° or waves of 50feet in height.
Anthem of the seas 2016.
Also the pools are drained and no one is allowed in during those kinds of events as rocking water can actually cause people to be ejected from the pool and send them flying over the deck.
