A stabilizer is a device on most all cruise vessels, to reduce Pitch and roll when at sea - the movement that can cause seasickness.
Stabilizers are often pulled in at night in order to allow faster speeds when traveling between ports of call.
A stabilizer looks like a small wing of an aircraft. It should avoid the rolling of the ship. However they are also acting like a brake which results in a higher energy consumption.
