a statement calling the event exceptional and saying the

addressing. what happened this week showed that we need to do better. >> something went wrong. we either didn't interpret the forecast correctly or we will do a complete review of the situation to see if there's any way to change our procedure, processes to do anything to make sure this doesn't happen. >> reporter: maritime lawyer jim walker says half a dozen passengers already called him from the ship wanting to file a lawsuit. >> the real issue here is whether the cruise lines have any liability for the fear and anxiety that most of these passengers had and in most cases, cruise lines are not responsible when the passengers have been fearful of weather conditions. >> reporter: while at least four people suffered minor injuries, royal caribbean says the ship didn't sustain any major damage. the ntsb is currently considering an investigation. in the meantime, royal caribbean tells us "anthem of the seas" will once again set sail on saturday, heading to the

robin. >> all right, linsey, joining us now to share their stories are peter and angela alupus, ashley and charlotte lipman and lauren, whitney, brittany and alex and albert hayes. >> good morning. >> absolutely. >> i was just looking at you as you were watching that. we're so thankful that there are only some minor injuries and that you all are doing okay. they got back? anybody do that? everyone? you always hear about people saying they're going to kiss the ground. peter, we saw your sister's video that she posted. you guys were told to stay in your cabins. it looks like you guys were in a washing machine. >> that's exactly what it was like. we were on the third floor with an ocean view and we literally saw the ocean with dori swimming

humor about it right now. you could hear even -- 17 years he's been a captain. he was experienced but there are a lot of crew members, this was their first time out. could you hear the fear in their voices? >> absolutely. my sister walked out into the corridor and saw some of the staff hugging and crying and that's when she got concerned. we also didn't have any life vests in the cabin which is unusual. we've cruised many times and i guess they keep them at stations to the cabins and there were no life vests. luckily we had our own personal snorkel vests and my sister was wearing it throughout the -- >> yes. >> you guys have been on cruises before. wasn't your first rodeo. >> we have. >> lauren, okay, i can understand this, you had a panic attack. >> oh, yeah. >> even though you were -- >> beyond. >> even though you were told to stay in the cabin, you had cabin fever. had to get out. >> we were probably -- we were all together probably in the room for 20 minutes if that and then we left. yeah. i couldn't do it and the crew

i'm not going back. >> i hate to use the phrase but you said you felt like you had a "titanic" moment. >> i felt that way when the captain came on the actual loudspeaker telling us to get back to our rooms. he didn't sound very convincing that it was going to be okay so it just -- everyone around us just started crying, saying they couldn't breathe. i had a guy rubbing my back up the stairs saying it's going to be okay. when everyone is freaking out like anxiety. out. charlotte, you're 10 years old. >> yeah. >> and your daddy and everyone eating candy and stuff. what was it like for you? >> it was kind of scary since i saw the waves and they were basically almost crashing on to our terrace. and the room is basically tilted all the way down like a ramp but when it wasn't moving i just ran down and then i fell on the bed. it was fun but still really scary. there for you and you had to be

tried to make the best of it. >> you said you got to eat candy and got quality time with your dad, one-on-one time with your dad so there was a bonus there. you heard in linsey's report the response from royal caribbean saying that there were some gaps and stuff. looking back, what do you all think should have been perhaps done differently, would you want something different? >> yes, it came to my attention from a meteorologist friend of mine this storm had been forecast up to a week before and i've been watching the news since we came on land and they say even 24 hours before, the forecast was very accurate as far as what we were sailing into so, you know, in retrospect, the captain did maneuver us through the storm, but i think he was instrumental in getting us to the storm and that's what i think needs to be addressed is how do we prevent this from happening again. >> the big lesson here. show of hands. who is going to go on a cruise

>> look at you. >> a few shaky hands. charlotte was right up. quite a daughter you have there. >> she's a daredevil. >> hey, thank you all very much and finding the humor in it. i know it had to be some very scary moments and thank you for sharing your story. ground. all the best to you. >> thanks robin. temperatures plunge what should you do if you want to use your we'll look at the touch screen gloves that can keep you connected. put them to the test. oves that can keep you connected. put them to the test. ve with... a pebble. some males, however... are smarter than others. save up to 30% on select diamonds in rhythm. at kay, the number one jewelry store in america... every kiss begins with kay. guys, kay jewelers would like to remind you... ...it's engagement season. and, all engagement and wedding rings are 20% off this friday through monday only. at kay... the number-one jewelry store for...

that wildlife refuge in oregon may finally be ending. the four remaining militia members holed up on the property in after being surrounded by the fbi. meanwhile, cliven bundy was arrested in portland last night. he is the father of ammon bundy who led the occupation of the refuge to protest the use of public lands. well, hillary clinton and bernie sanders are preparing for another crucial debate tonight, this time in wisconsin. it will be their first face-off since sanders' landslide victory in new hampshire. sources tell abc news hillary clinton's top advisers are calling supporters and donors trying to ease concerns about their campaign. they are focusing on south carolina and nevada and relying on support among african-american and latino voters. on the republican side, donald trump telling supporters in south carolina, if he wins their state's primary, he'll, quote, run the table to the nomination. ted cruz claims he is the only candidate who can beat trump.

shot in south carolina, but the ohio governor is making news as he prepares to sign a bill defunding planned parenthood. in health news, encouraging signs about dementia in america. it appears to be on the decline. a new study finds rates of dementia are down more than 40% since the 1970s among whites. doctors say the change is most likely because of lower rates of heart disease, and they also found a link between higher education and a lower risk for dementia. well, we have an update on this video we showed you of that man helping police catch a drug suspect by tripping him on a sidewalk. well, police released the video in the hopes of finding him so they could thank him for doing their legwork, and now they have. it turns out he is a soldier in the british army, and like any good soldier, he is always on duty. and finally the secret service has posted a sign outside the white house that may seem a little obvious. it reads, weapons prohibited at the white house. well, the agency tells "usa

to post the sign to have the right to search people. but here's the deal, that law was passed back in 1988. it took them 28 years to get the sign up. no word why it took so long, but good work, guys. better late than never, robin. >> i guess so, amy. thank you. we got a big health headline for the millions of two-thirds of u.s. adults are classified as overweight or obese, and a new study from johns hopkins university reveals those popular weight loss centers that so many use may not be helping. dr. jennifer ashton is here with the details. so, what's going on here, jen? >> so, robin, if you are overweight or obese and in my office, i would likely counsel you about the importance of losing weight and then might likely refer you to one of these weight loss centers to help you because this is an ordeal. so what this study did is they kind of went behind the

an urban area of medical weight loss centers and what they found, they didn't do so well. there is a lot of room for improvement. one of the findings was about 1% only follow the actual medical guidelines in helping patients lose weight. fewer than one in three are actually supervised by a physician, and only about 3% are recommending the proper amount of physical activity. so, again, not such a good report card here. >> these are shocking numbers. >> yeah. >> why are they not following the requirements? >> we don't know. i mean, my take on this is a number of possible explanations. number one, a center may choose deliberately to pursue their own approach, which is fine as long as you're transparent about that, and you want to follow your own espy. what would be more concerning if they were actually unaware that there were real guidelines that should ideally be followed and, lastly, obviously there could be financial gain here, and it could be a scam, so this is a

buyer, beware. >> congratulations, you are just newly -- >> yes. >> -- board certified when it comes to obesity medicine. >> thank you. >> and there is some research out there that shows why it is so difficult for many to lose weight. >> right, we know based on the obesity medicine data, in some cases losing a significant amount of weight may not be as simple as eating carrot sticks and exercising a lot because this is a complex issue with multiple causes. there are metabolic reasons, hormonal reasons, environmental reasons, exposure in utero, behavioral, genetic. this is a war on obesity, so we need an army to fight it. >> jen, you know so many people, they see these centers in malls, in strip malls and all around. what is your recommendation? >> well, proceed with caution. okay, there are a couple of tips. number one, you want to be clear about your goals at the onset. are you going to lose 20 pounds or are you going because you're trying to lose 200 pounds and you want to ask about the credentials of the people operating these centers. >> good. >> that should be up front. it's not a secret.

qualifications. ideally, people can go to the internet and read the american heart association and obesity society guidelines on weight loss from 2013. it's a magnum opus, but it is everyone to look at and, lastly, you have to factor in cost. we say it all the time. it's expensive to be overweight. but getting good health can also be factored in. >> wonderful suggestions right there. all right, congratulations again. >> thank you. >> like she needs another title. doesn't have enough going on. >> a little bit of free time. >> a little. jen will be answering your questions throughout the morning. tweet her @drjenashton. go to "gma's" facebook page as well. now to jesse with the "morning menu." >> thanks, robin. here's what's coming up on the "morning menu." kim kardashian opening up about baby number two and starting a parenting debate. what experts are saying this morning. and lara is live on the "scandal" set getting unprecedented access with the entire cast like you've never seen before.

welcome back to "gma." we're going to start now with she's opening up about how she's handling that new addition to her family going from one child to two and we have expert advice on how to manage that challenge. reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: kim kardashian has conquered the worlds of reality tv, fashion and social media. but going from one baby to two, that's something she says she's still trying to master posting this week, "i get no sleep" in reference to balancing the needs of her newborn son with those of her toddler daughter, north west. "one is like one," she writes repeating something her mother kris jenner once told her. "two are like twenty. every waking second i'm not with the baby i'm with north. i feel like i go into overdrive

and make her feel loved." >> this is exactly what your reality stars to be like. relatable and in this post, kim kardashian proved she's just like every other mother out there. completely overwhelmed by taking care of kids. >> reporter: the strain from becoming a second time mom is far from uncommon. according to a 2015 study conducted by the university of michigan, 65% of women are likely to be less happy in the first year or two after the birth of their second child. nicole herwitz knows the stress of going from one to two. the new york mom says she was just getting into a routine with her firstborn max when she welcomed a new baby two months ago. >> mornings used to be really easy. my son would wake up, and we would do breakfast for him and get him off to school. and now it's a lot of preparing at night to get the toddler out the door and then start things all over again with the newborn. >> reporter: parenting experts say the key for new moms and kim kardashian is enlist help from a baby sitter or spend time with mommy friends who understand the stress and schedule some "me" time on a regular basis. >> if your older child is feeling jealous or left out, you can always make them feel included in taking care of the

>> reporter: for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> and you have to pull the older child off the younger child. >> yeah, you have to watch those two, right? >> absolutely. >> and kim is very fortunate. she has her resources to be able to help her out that some other mothers might not have. now to the moment we've been waiting for all morning, lara live in hollywood with the cast of "scandal." enjoy, lara, enjoy. >> oh, thank you, robin. you know i'm in heaven. i love the show, and the cast is just as nice as you would imagine.

>> well, not everybody. >> be an upstanding person. >> trying. >> not everybody is -- not everybody is able. your dad. >> no, no. >> he thinks he's being the best version of himself. >> absolutely, he thinks he's being the best version of himself, yeah. >> i mean, nobody does a joe plays command. >> thank you very much in front of my entire case. >> yes, thank you. >> there's just something about love the dynamic that's happening or that i'm sensing between you three, scott foley and guillermo, my hunk. what's to come? what can you tell us about the dynamic between that triangle? >> well, the last thing you saw, right, was that he walked into my house, which means that we're or there's going to be a lot of blood. >> really? okay. action. >> oh, well -- >> we have a chyron up. you can't see but i just saw a very touching moment. >> it was. it was sweet, wasn't it. >> it was sweet.

scene. >> you don't know. i mean, like you said, the last thing we saw jake walking into rowan's house, so i think there's a lot of possibility there. you know, there was some harsh feelings in the past and understandably so. >> yeah. >> but i think there's an open door. >> and, huck, i want to ask you. most complicated. i just called you huck. guillermo. >> okay. >> guillermo, how is that for you to play -- it must just be a actor. >> yeah. >> and then also what can we expect from your character? >> it's awesome. you know, i'm the luckiest guy. i feel like i'm on television to be able to portray huck, but, you know, huck, i think, is trying to be that normal guy. you know, he's trying to be that guy. really, he's trying really, one of those scenes a few episodes ago where he doesn't end up torturing rowan was a major step forward.

>> yeah, well, i don't -- >> kind of. >> i look at it as he's getting stronger. >> amen. >> he's getting better. >> that, i agree. >> i absolutely agree. >> resisting the -- >> trying to break -- >> yeah. >> katie, next to you is cornelius. he is the newest gladiator.

minutes of skyping with fabio, it would get awkward. >> it's not even skyping, it's like a video that rolls. >> you're watching and he's pretending to -- >> listen, if you don't have any other plans on valentine's day as the gladiators would say, fabio has it handled. yeah, you see what i did there. >> it was good. >> all right. so now we have two other teammates of yours. >> portia and artemus will help me.

>> sampling of the secrets of the "scandal" set. for now, though, back to you in new york. more with the president and olivia coming up. >> now i'm craving a glass of wine. so early. >> it's almost 9:00. >> thank you, lara. thank you everybody. we'll have a lot more with the cast of "scandal" coming up. amy and mario batali, our $5 dinner challenge. >> that's right. we are giving celebrity chefs 5 bucks to whip up a well-balanced meal and this morning a celebrity chef and co-host of "the chew" is taking on the challenge, mario batali, come on out. [ applause ] >> all right, you, this is not an easy challenge, $5, but in the bag. >> absolutely. >> first of all, i have a box of pasta, which we're only going to use half. people on a budget. >> absolutely. the problem with americans, a single portion serving. this is enough for four people. >> all right. >> then sausage. >> sausage. all right. >> delicious italian spicy sausage. >> that was $1.50. >> we're only going to use half

then broccoli. >> broccoli. >> 85 cents worth for a half a head. >> that is an incredible -- this is your total right here. >> yes. >> that brings you to a grand total of $3.21. that is amazing. >> all right. >> i'm feeling pretty good about it. >> pretty incredible. so, let's get cooking. we need any items from our pantry? >> well, yes. could you bring me extra virgin olive oil, chili flakes and a quarter pound of the '50s sliced real thin. that was a joke. >> i want to tell you. you actually have a brand-new restaurant. congratulations. >> i do. >> first in ten years. >> first new inventory in new york city in ten years. la sirena. odyssey" that would sing from it would crash the ships and no one will die in this >> no one will die in this restaurant. >> so we drop our pasta. what we always do, right before

remember. right before i put the pasta in i put the salt. salt is free on today. then we cook it al dente and if you do it you cook it according to the package instructions written right on the box. cook it one minute short of that and then throw it in with all of the rest of the things we call palm de menu. i put three of the links back in the freezer. a tip is, don't be afraid to freeze. don't thaw things, don't leave it on the counter. take it out the night before and put it in the fridge and broccoli is blanched in water and throw it in like that. >> you blanched it. how long do you blanche? >> when you blanche things you bring water up to a boil and you throw it in quickly with a little bit of salt, take it out after one minute, put it in ice water to shock it and refresh it which retains the chlorophyll. >> see, i'm glad i asked. >> retains the crunch and that also helps you know you're maintaining some of the vitamins and minerals. >> very nice. good. all right. >> so if you don't have a colander around the house or a sink. hold on, let me reach for the sink.

>> the virtual sink is so good. what's important in good pasta dishes is don't take the noodles out and just put them naked on the plate. >> ah chlt . >> you toss them into the pan with the condiment so the two separate ingredients -- >> that's such a good idea. >> the noodle and all the other stuff come together as one. >> yeah. >> now we'll add a little chili flakes. >> a marriage of flavors. >> exactly. a little drizzle of extra olive virgin oil. >> cheese. >> just a little cheese. >> cheese is expensive and cheese will mask it. use that grater right there. >> and you buy your cheese in bulk. >> buy my cheese in bulk and also i only keep in the refrigerator how much i'll use that week, a half pound. the rest in the freezer wrapped twice in foil and then in a plastic wrap. >> you can freeze that. >> you can freeze cheese -- the hard, dried cheeses you can freeze. the fresh cheeses not so much. >> we are learning so much this morning. >> i know. >> put the cheese actually in there is what we want. >> put the cheese -- >> in the pan. so that it melts, almost becomes

>> one of the big things about italian pasta cookery is that it's about the balance so it would seem to us abudanza, simple food. you never see giant italians walking around on the street. they eat pasta every day. it's because they eat the right portion. >> all right. thank you so much. this is amazing. >> so good. >> robin is like -- >> a little of that. >> look how much robin is eating. >> robin is a good eater. but she's clearly a responsible eater because she's slim and sexy. >> you're good. >> stop it some more. you can get recipes at goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! i just almost spit it out. let's go outside to rob. >> looks delicious and hot. we're cold out here. good job. chilly for sure. where it's warmer though is the midsection all the way up to the northwest. temperature in the 70s. look at billings, 59 and 60s in

[ sighs ] feel like a hollywood insider... okay, i'll work on it. ...with prism tv plus gig internet speed from centurylink. rin the middle of a time when senior povertyt is increasing. republicans and some democratsp came up with a brilliant idea for cutting cost-of-living adjustments for social security. we said, "it will be over our dead bodies if you cut social security."

go, can you really remain alone? you've got -- you're flanked by your two loves. can olivia pope stand on her own two feet? >> i think it's also -- that's an interesting question. are you alone when you are surrounded by friends and family. like she still has her maybe that's enough for now. >> is that enough? >> maybe. >> it is what her father wants for her. >> oh. >> stand on her own two feet and do her thing on her own. >> listen, command. >> it's the truth. >> we always worry about what your ulterior motive is. >> my ulterior motive is happy. >> oh, my god. >> or dead. >> raise your hand if you hands down. >> so, who here is going to leave our "gma" moment -- and and for coming in early -- and go home and take a nap? raise your hand. >> that we can raise. >> i don't blame you. >> you guys are going to go -- >> i'm above it. >> everybody from "scandal," we thank you. we love you. keep up the great work. >> thank you. >> can't wait to see how it unfolds. mwah, mwah, mwah.
