If the winds are blowing on the side of a cruise ship how fastmphwould they have to be to tip it over?

Cruise lines would NEVER allow the ships to ever even be in that position. Satellite tracking is now so widely used that if the cruise lines even saw a storm that bad they would turn back or go around it. i know but i just need to know what mph wind speed they would tip over at

What causes oceans waves?
Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
What is the direction of westerlies in new zealand?
Winds are categorised according to the direction from which they blow - so a Northerly over NZ blows from the tropics towards the south and is usually a warmer air flow, while a southerly, blowing from Antarctica, would be chilly. Westerly winds over NZ are the prevailing winds, that is, they blow from that direction most often. Westerlies blow from Australia, across the Tasman Sea and approach NZ along its West Coast.
