I would add that Peter's explanation is excellent. The fact that the ship was described as "so narrow and tall" is interesting since I don't know of many of the more recently-built cruise ships which are much more than "Panamax" width of 105 feet, although there may be some.What you didn't tell us is WHERE your cabin was located for your "rough sail" trip. The location of the cabin makes a big difference in your perception of pitch and roll. The higher you are on a ship, the more feelings of motion you'll generally experience. So for minimal pitch and roll the best place is as LOW as you can go and as close to mid-ships as you can get.
