NextImg:Cruise ship floods as gallons of water leak from being in alarming video: ‘Absolutely terrifying’

A viral video has shown the moment a cruise ship began to flood, with one guest describing it as “absolutely terrifying.”

Amber, who was staying on the seventh floor of Carnival Radiance, shared a clip to TikTok of water gushing from the ceiling in a hallway outside her cabin, which has been viewed more than 7 million times.

She said it happened on the first night of her cruise this month from Long Beach, California.

In the caption of a second video Amber explained at about 2 a.m. she was “woken up with water gushing into our room from the ceiling” – describing the ordeal as “absolutely terrifying.”

That clip showed her dark, wet cabin reportedly without power and workers attempting to clean up the water in the hallway.

Carnival Cruise Line told news.com.au the flooding was caused by “a burst water line” which affected “an area of the ship that accounts for less than two percent of its staterooms.”

“The ship’s team members cleaned the area and the pipe was fixed,” the spokeswoman said.

The video was enough to frighten social media users, who immediately made references to the Titanic.

“The way I thought this was a literal Titanic experience museum or something at first,” wrote one person.

“I see that I’m going straight to the main deck, life jacket on just in case. I’m not getting stuck behind one of their gates,” said another.

“I see this and I am on the first safety boat out of there,” added a third.

A keen cruise-goer said: “I’ve been on several Carnival cruises and never had an issue but if I saw that much water I would absolutely panic.”

“OMG. Another fear of why I won’t go on a cruise,” said someone else.

“Definitely my biggest fear,” another agreed.

Carnival Radiance, formerly Carnival Victory, launched in 2000 and underwent a $200 million refit and refurbishment in 2020.

Last year, a plumbing issue also caused a floor on Carnival Vista to flood.

In the second video, the passenger showed her cabins with the floors flooded, and reportedly without power.

Videos showed guests walking through ankle-deep water.

The sheer volume of water, according to a guest who shared the footage with TikTok, caused a cabin door to bust open and a river to flow down the hallway.

According to the traveler, the ordeal unfolded on the sixth floor before leaking down onto the fifth.
