Overview

• The 13-second TikTok posted Sept. 19 shows a woman pinned inside a transparent tube high above the ocean as onlookers exclaim that she is stuck.
• Multiple outlets report the vessel closely matches Norwegian Cruise Line’s Bliss and point to the Ocean Loops attraction, which extends about 11 feet off the ship and roughly 159 feet above the water.
• The clip has drawn millions of views and widespread reactions, with viewers noting the apparent lack of flowing water to propel the rider through the slide.
• Norwegian Cruise Line did not respond to several outlets’ requests for comment, while a representative told USA Today the slide features an escape hatch for safe exits when riders cannot complete the run.
• The rider’s outcome remains unverified, and the episode is being weighed against prior incidents, including a 2022 lodged-rider video on the same attraction and an August slide panel failure on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas that injured a guest.
