Viral TikTok Shows Passenger Stuck in Norwegian Cruise Line Ocean Loops Slide Over Open Ocean

Reporters tie the clip to Norwegian Cruise Line's Ocean Loops, with the ship and rescue details still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • The 13‑second video, posted Sept. 19 by TikTok user @kaylamierzejewski, shows a woman stalled in a clear tube section of the slide as onlookers react, drawing millions of views and widespread concern.
  • Coverage identifies the attraction as Ocean Loops, a double‑loop slide that extends about 11 feet off the ship and roughly 159 feet above the ocean, with listed rider limits of 40 inches minimum height and 120–300 pounds.
  • The specific ship remains disputed, with People and Cruisemapper pointing to Norwegian Bliss while JohnnyJet reports it occurred on Norwegian Encore.
  • Similar stall videos from previous years and a Sept. 3 TikTok have circulated, and users claim the slide has an alarm and an escape hatch, though Norwegian Cruise Line has not confirmed those features.
  • Norwegian Cruise Line did not provide on‑the‑record details about this incident, leaving how the rider exited the slide unverified in current reporting.
