Overview

• A 13-second TikTok posted Sept. 19 by user @kaylamierzejewski shows a passenger apparently stuck in a clear tube slide extending over the ocean, drawing millions of views.
• The attraction appears to be Ocean Loops, a double-loop slide marketed as hanging 11 feet off the ship and 159 feet above the water, with a trapdoor start and height and weight limits.
• Outlets differ on the vessel, with several reports matching visuals and tracking data to Norwegian Bliss, while at least one report identifies Norwegian Encore.
• Norwegian Cruise Line had not provided an official statement by Sept. 24, and there is no verified information on how the rider exited or whether any injuries occurred.
• Earlier social clips show similar stalls on the same type of slide, and one TikTok user described an escape hatch and alarm for stuck riders, a claim not confirmed by the company.
