Nearly 100 passengers on board the Crown Princess were taken to hospital following a sudden severe lurch.
Altogether around 240 passengers were injured in the incident, the majority of them treated on board for abrasions, bruises and fractures.
All passengers taken to hospital have now been released, except for three passengers and two crew members. They are expected to make a full recovery.
Investigators are still trying to establish the cause of the heavy list, which happened as the ship was sailing towards New York, although initial reports point to a faulty steering column.
The ship took such a heavy roll that passengers on the seventh floor reported their staterooms under water.
It is currently docked at Port Canaveral, Florida.
Princess Cruises said: “We would again like to extend our sincerest apologies to our passengers and crew on board Crown Princess for this unsettling incident, and also for any injuries they experienced.
“Approximately 1600 passengers have already disembarked Crown Princess and departed home. There are still approximately 1850 passengers still onboard and we are currently assisting them with their homeward travel arrangements.
“As a result of the heavy list, there was also considerable superficial damage to the interior of the ship, and this is expected to be quickly repaired.”
A spokesman for Cruise Lines International Association said: “I’ve heard of heavy weather or rough seas causing a ship to list, but I’ve never heard of this.”
