A passenger on Royal Caribbean’s nine month cruise has claimed that there’s a certain thing that travellers aren’t allowed to discuss while onboard.
On his popular TikTok page, Marc Sebastian, has shared a series of videos about his experiences on the cruise, which officially departed on 10 December 2023. The nine-month cruise will come to an official end on 10 September 2024, with the ship docking in Miami, Florida.

“I’m sorry if I’m going on a boat, I’m talking about Titanic and OceanGate,” one wrote, referring to OceanGate’s Titan submersible, which experienced a “catastrophic implosion” when it submerged in June 2023, killing all five people aboard the vessel.
“The way I would be talking about the Titanic all the time,” another wrote, while a third claimed: “When I went on a cruise my mom told me saying Titanic was equivalent to screaming bomb at an airport.”
Elsewhere in the video, the influencer made some other claims about cruises, as he also said that “ships have godmothers”. He then specified that Whoopi Goldberg was the “godmother” of the Serenade of the Seas, before showing a picture of the…
