Carnival Cruise Passengers Wake To Ankle Deep Water

Passengers aboard a recent Carnival Vista cruise ship were awakened to water creeping in under their door.

Video footage shows an entire floor swelling with water.

Thankfully the Titanic-like scene was not because the ship was sinking ship, but instead, the result of a plumbing issue that caused a ceiling to cave in and a cabin to fill with water.

The sheer volume of water, caused the cabin’s door to bust open and a river to flow down the hallway, according to a guest who shared the video on TikTok.

According to the passenger, the incident unfolded on the sixth floor before leaking down onto the fifth.

They said it was caused by a “busted pipe” which saw her group awakened to a flood of water higher than their ankles.

There were “Titanic vibes for about five minutes”, she reported.

The TikTok user shared two videos the first of which garnered more than 11 million views.

“Woke to water rushing into our cabin … our lives flashed before our eyes,” she captioned the clip, which showed the hallway carpet drenched in water.

A crowd of people was standing in the hallway as water lapped against their legs.

In a follow-up video, the same passenger clarified she wasn’t “trash talking” the cruise company, only “documenting a scary experience that turned out funny”.

“We did actually wake up to this flood and water past our ankles,” she wrote.

In response to a comment, she explained that the “room filled all the way up and then bent the door”.

“The ceiling caved in and filled this room … eventually breaking through the door and filling our room and others,” she said in another.

Despite the incident, the group “still had a blast”, the traveller wrote.
