A viral video shows the moment a cruise ship began flooding, with one guest describing it as “absolutely terrifying.”
Amber, who was staying on the seventh floor of Carnival Radiance, shared a clip on TikTok of water gushing from the ceiling in a hallway outside her cabin, which has been viewed more than 7 million times.
He said it happened on the first night of his cruise this month from Long Beach, California.
In the caption of a second video, Amber explained that around 2am she “was woken up to water gushing in from the ceiling of our room”, and described the ordeal as “absolutely terrifying”.

That clip showed their dark, dank cabin, supposedly without electricity, and workers trying to clean up water in the hallway.
Carnival Cruise Line told news.com.au the flooding was caused by “a burst water pipe” which affected “an area of the ship representing less than two per cent of its staterooms”.
“Members of the ship’s team cleaned the area and fixed the pipe,” the spokeswoman said.

The video was enough to scare social media users, who immediately made reference to the Titanic.

“At first I thought this was a literal museum of the Titanic experience or something,” one person wrote.
“I see that I am going straight to the main deck, with the life jacket on just in case. “I will not be trapped behind one of your doors,” said another.
“I see this and I’m on the first security boat out of there,” added a third.
One enthusiastic cruise traveler said: “I’ve been on several Carnival cruises and never had any problems, but if I saw that much water I’d panic.”
“OMG. Another fear of why I’m not going on a cruise,” someone else said.
“Definitely my biggest fear,” another agreed.
Carnival Radiance, formerly Carnival Victory, opened in 2000 and underwent a $200 million repair and refurbishment in 2020.
Last year, a plumbing problem also caused a floor at Carnival Vista to flood.
In the second video, the passenger showed her cabins with flooded floors and, apparently, without electricity. TikTok/dawn7877 In the video you can see the cruise ship workers trying to clean the water in the hallway. TikTok/dawn7877
Videos showed guests walking in ankle-deep water.
The large volume of water, according to a guest who shared the images with TikTok, caused the door of a cabin to open and a river to flow down the hallway.
According to the traveler, the ordeal unfolded on the sixth floor before spreading to the fifth.
