I was supposed to go on this cruise for my birthday with my boyfriend. Luckily for me he dumped me in November and I said I wasn't going! Karma???

Of course she is seaworthy .... uninformed people who are not marine engineers talking. The passengers, were uncomfortable, but they were not maritime engineers or architects and knew nothing about the ship and her conditions.

That's not saying the Royal Caribbean made a bad decision to sail into the storm but that does not mean the ship is not seaworthy. She has a lot of sail area which when exposed to the wind is going to make things uncomfortable and even dangerous to be trying to walk around the ship, but that said, there were pictures of passengers trying to walk around with their cocktails and beers still in there hands!
