Viral TikTok Shows Cruise Passenger Stuck in Over-the-Ocean Waterslide

Reporters visually matched the tube to Norwegian’s Ocean Loops on the Bliss, with no official confirmation from the poster or the cruise line.

Overview

  • A 13-second TikTok posted Sept. 19 shows a woman stalled in a clear tube that extends beyond a ship’s side as bystanders react on camera.
  • The vessel in the clip closely resembles Norwegian Bliss on a seven-day Alaska itinerary near Victoria, B.C., according to visual matches and Cruisemapper data.
  • Some coverage points to sister ship Norwegian Encore, underscoring that the ship ID remains unconfirmed by the poster or Norwegian Cruise Line.
  • Company materials describe Ocean Loops as a double-loop slide that juts 11 feet off the ship and sits 159 feet above the ocean, with posted height and weight limits.
  • The video has drawn millions of views and extensive online commentary, and while users claim there is an emergency hatch for stuck riders, that detail has not been verified.
