On July 19, 2006, the cruise liner Crown Pacific was sailing off the Florida coast. In calm waters with good weather, the ship suddenly rolled, tipping an estimated 15 degrees on its side. 240 people were injured during the incident.
Here is a security video footage from the ship's casino as the incident took place. This was not a common occurrence and the force generated by the roll is apparent.
