Viral TikTok Shows Cruise Passenger Stuck Inside Water Slide Over the Ocean
VIRAL TALKS — A terrifying TikTok video has gone viral after showing a cruise passenger becoming stuck inside a transparent water slide suspended over the ocean, leaving viewers both horrified and fascinated.
Passenger Trapped Over the Sea
The 13-second video, posted by user @kaylamierzejewski, shows a woman stuck in Norwegian Cruise Line’s Ocean Loops slide. With her arms stretched forward, she struggles to push herself through the tube as onlookers can be heard screaming.
The incident reportedly took place aboard the Norwegian Bliss, which was on a seven-day Alaska cruise off Victoria, British Columbia, on September 19. The Ocean Loops slide plunges riders through two loops that extend 11 feet beyond the ship’s edge, suspended 159 feet above the water.
Viral Panic Online
The clip quickly went viral, racking up over 7 million views and nearly 250,000 likes.

Reactions from TikTok users highlighted the fear of being trapped high above the ocean:
- “Anyone else having a panic attack watching this?”
- “Stuck in a waterslide over actual ocean water would send me into a psychosis.”
- “TikTok has definitely taught me to NEVER get in a cruise water slide.”
Not the First Time
This isn’t the first incident with the Ocean Loops attraction. In 2022, another passenger was filmed becoming stuck in the same slide, though witnesses said staff freed her quickly and she went back to ride again.
Reports suggest the slide is fitted with an emergency hatch that staff can access if riders get stuck, though it’s unclear whether it was used in this most recent case.
Safety Requirements
Norwegian Cruise Line requires Ocean Loops riders to meet specific safety standards:
- Minimum height: 40 inches
- Weight: 120–300 pounds
The slide begins with a trap door system that drops riders into the loop before ending in an onboard pool.
