Crazy But True Stories That Happened On Cruise Ships 

Cruise ships haunt me. Imagine being stuck in the middle of the ocean with a murderer on the boat

I'm 14 years old, i live in Brazil and i am learning English, your videos help a lot!

I can’t help but notice most of these were by Carnival Cruises

Fun fact: the costa Concordia is owned by Costa cruise lines, which is owned by carnival And half of these ships were owned by carnival and the other half were just old ships

A dude went missing on my cruise a couple years ago. They never found him. May have gone overboard

The only thing haunting about a cruise ship is my wallet.

I was on a cruise with my family in 2006, I was 12 years old. My brother was two year old at the time. I wasn’t actually around for this but the story from my Dad is “I was having a chat with a man when suddenly his face turned white and his mouth dropped, I turned around and your brother had climbed OUTSIDE the railing” so there was nothing between this two year old child and the ocean. If he’d have slipped or let go, well, I don’t even want to think about it. Needless to say my Dad grabbed him as fast as he could and pulled him back over. Gives me anxiety just thinking about it now.

The scariest thing on cruise ships are the kids running around playing tag

Infographics: Cruise ship horrors Me to my empty wallet: i love you

Notice how most of these ship are owned by carnival

I was on a cruise ship for three years! Went to exotic locations around the world! Even ended up in a war zone for a little while. The food was bland, no pool, no bar, and we made our own entertainment outside of CCTV. By cruise ship I mean a US Navy ship.

As someone that works on a cruise ship you would be amazed of all the stuff that happens on the ship day to day

Not like I could afford a trip on a cruise ship anyway😂

I was doing the same route on another ship when the #10 happened (cruise ship host here), dude was caught red handed trying to throw his wife's body off the balcony, spreading blood around their cabin, which is why cleaning staff was seen with blood on their clothes, we were in the same port (Juneau IIRC) when he was taken off the ship by police.

A man accidentally dropped his 2 year old granddaughter through an open window. Imagine the guilt 😔

"You've got to stay in your cabins and wash your hands often to avoid the mass sickness" Why does that sound familiar?

Reasons I won’t go on a cruise ship: Everything above and nausea.

Number 8 was on the Celebrity Mercury Number 5 was on the Carnival Splendor Number 3 was on the Seabourn Spirit

Note to self:never step foot on a carnival cruise ship

There’s a story like this in Korea where a cruise ship sunk sideways and they had no idea how but when they saw a footage, there was something that looked a lot like a submarine, so they thought it was North Korea. There’s an 8 hour video that went viral in Korea explaining what happened

I feel like a terrible person for laughing at the pooping and vomiting disaster

The old thumbnails are back!! Wow thanks for the likes hope you have an amazing day!

I’m so lucky, I’ve been on three cruises and never had a bad time at all.

I’m seeing some comments from 5 hours ago and this video came out 38 seconds ago, that’s some serious time travel

Me on a cruise ship: Imma have fun Inforgraphics show: Hehe You thought

The last cruise I had was my honeymoon, last September. I have been on a handful of cruises but I remember this one distinctly. Because the very last night, the weather was rough. Well, it was windy, anyway. I went up on deck to grab a beer at the aft facing bar, with a perfect view of the setting sun directly in the ship's wake. I had known how windy it was but I didn't not realize until I went on the deck, that the ship was totally tilted at what seemed to be a scientifically impossible angle. Of course we were all fine and make it back but man I did not sleep well that night and kept waking up to the ship rocking. I'm curious how normal that is. No one else really seemed concerned but it felt like the ship was going to tip over into the ocean from the wind.

I have been on a Ship From Belgium To United Kingdom Everything was Okay and the dinner was. Tasty.

I thought for sure that #1 would’ve been titanic 😂

I was on that emerald princess cruise. You could feel the tension after the captain told us what happened

I remember CostaConcordia well. I woke up Jan 13, my 21st birthday, and saw the news. 😔

"Some of you might not have heard of the 2013 (2012 actually) Costa Concordia disaster" - Basically the only disaster in this video I knew about bc it flooded the news :D

Fun fact: Disney is the only to feature films the same day they premiere on land

7:15 “You May think this is very rare” I have trust issues and thought it’d be common

When the cruise ship scared off the pirates with a water hose, I thought of a person using a garden hose to shoo away a raccoon or something lol

My grandparents were on the #7 one in Norway, the helicopters wouldn’t land, they had to attach people to the rescuers that dropped down, my grandmother was one of the few that was injured as well after a wave crashed through their checkpoint and she got glass in her arms and legs

I recently watched a Patriot Act episode where Hassan was talking about cruise ships, few days later I watch this video. Never afraid of cruise ships my whole life

Well I’m never going on a cruise ship

5:16 i have a similar story. when i was 5 my mom and I were gonna go to a resort in Florida but my mom read about the resort and found out that an employee set up cameres in rooms and watched children sleep. i am 12 now and it still brings chills to my body, just to think if my mom didn't look at the resort i could've been watched.

I was on the Norwegian Epic back in 2019 and a woman went overboard. We spent the next few hours looking for her. The Coast Guard was called as well but she was never found.

When I was on a cruise a person fell off or was pushed into a stormy sea at full speed so there was no chance but the ship was required to search for 8 hours. People were asked to go to the upper decks and hunt for her but it was hopeless. The weather was horrible and at one point we crested a massive wave causing the ship to briefly plunge down. Sad about the woman like rip but the weather was unbeatable and it just felt epic.

I'm watching this 6 months later and covid is still a thing, madness

I have motion sickness. I’m lucky enough that my family thinks of me when planning a vacation. So, no to cruises. But I’ll suffer through motion sickness if it means that they’ll be able to experience cruises. However, I hope none of these things happen to us when we do decide to go on a cruise ship.

I love going into cruise ships but I sometimes wonder how they are even allowed to exist, you are using as much energy to take billions of cars from point A to B just to transport a few hundreds in a boat, and there's a bunch of loopholes when it comes to the law on cruise ships.

3:38 The man is opening the door for the woman’s bathroom 😬😬😬

8:40 The Costa Concordia disaster happened in 2012 not 2013

“But some of you won’t have heard of the 2013 costa Concordia disaster” and you don’t even know the year it sank

something weird about the costa concordia is that it actually sunk on the 12th of April 2012 which is exactly 100 years after the Titanic sunk.

To the 1% who see this I hope you get everything you want and have a amazing day!

10:00 I'm going to have to stop you right there: you mentioned the Empress of Ireland, I'll get back to that in a moment, you mentioned the Titanic --- now, she was built to accommodate 64 lifeboats but was cut down to 16 which was the Board of Trade's minimum requirement. That was put in place in 1896. Of course, Ship Designer Thomas Andrews Jr. wanted more lifeboats due to the size and capacity of passengers/crew on board but alas, he was overwritten by the Board. In fact, she had 20 lifeboats... although that's just a short amount compared to her design number, the fact still stands: she had more that was legally required but still not enough for everyone on board. In addition, 12 hours prior to the collision, the lifeboat drill was cancelled for unknown reasons and when the disaster occurred, there wasn't a sense of urgency until Thomas Andrews Jr, who was working on blue prints and notes in his cabin, Cabin A-36, was summoned that he explained the situation. Also, the crew was horribly under-trained and had no idea what to do until an hour later when they decided to launch the lifeboats. Finally, the passengers didn't want to leave straight away until most of the lifeboats were already launched. It took 2 hours and 40 minutes (11:40PM -- 2:20AM) to sink. Now, back to the RMS Empress of Ireland, she was struct, yes, but unlike the Titanic, the Empress took a total of 14 minutes (you read the correctly, 14 minutes) to sink to the ocean below taking a total of 1,012 passengers/crew to the bottom of the ocean. The issue was that her watertight doors could not be activated in time, she listed so badly that most of her lifeboats (which was enough for EVERYBODY) could not be used at all.

I was in a cruise ship (Freedom of the Seas) and I saw a bunch of beach chairs huddled in a side because a man put his almost newborn daughter on the window to see (turns out he threw her) and she plummeted to her death

They always say "but that's a story for another day" "DAY" one year later still nothing

8:40 wait a sec... FRIDAY THE 13TH?

And people call me crazy for not wanting to take a vacation overseas.

Remember to stay hydrated today guys!

I find it alarming that the company acknowledged that the camera was there and didn’t try and say it was some rogue staff member

I live in Québec and we hear all about the Empress of Ireland in our history classes... such a tragedy

My family went on a cruise ship along the Nile in Egypt many years ago, and yes I enjoyed the cruise. At least once a day the ship would dock so that the passengers could go on the daily excursions to many of the ancient Egyptian ruins. The food was amazing and I really enjoyed the meal times, the cabin was perfectly reasonable and comfortable. But I very much doubt that I’d ever go on an ocean cruise as one of the things that I liked about the river cruise was watching the scenery go by and the daily excursions. Being on the endless sea world have driven me crazy.

Dinner partner couple when we were in a port in Mexico didn’t listen or believe the warning to not take taxis to tour the area. They ended up out in the desert with the taxi surrounded by men with guns. The couple had to pay $200 to be taken back to the ship. If the captain gives a warning not to do something, it’s smart to believe him. He’s at that port on a regular schedule. He knows what he’s talking about.

"Haha. Hahahah. I'm in danger." That's what I said when my curise ship started to sink. I lucky lived, like everybody else.

Every time I go on a cruise I ask someone from the crew what’s the craziest thing that’s happened on the ship and I’ve heard some crazy stories over the years

The entire tome he was talking of people falling or jumping off ships I was picturing Rose at the back of the titanic

Okay, let’s just acknowledge the fact that the words “Carnival Cruise” and “vacation of a lifetime” should *never* be used in the same sentence.

We go on a cruise every chirstmas break in memory of my brother and now in memory of my mother and every time we enter out cabin we check for spyhole cameras. To say the least when we had heard the story of a couple finding a camera in the light of their TV we went into protection mode.

Captain cowards ship was sailing on Friday the 13th, that makes it so much scarier

2nd to last story is similar to the Korean Sewol ferry incident from few years ago. Captain told everyone to not leave their cabins and he was later seen escaping first with a regular civilian outfit. Rescue time was further delayed when the person overseeing the operation went MIA on shift and they could only start rescue with his approval. He was later found to be getting plastic surgery done while on shift. These people got off without any real punishment btw

I've been on several NCL cruises and had no problem on any. I'm sure there is some nuttiness on a few, but a rare accordance.

Cruises have been solidified in my imaginary list of things I wouldn’t do that I couldn’t afford

I still love going on a cruises. Even if something happens, at least there’s a chance you can escape. Imagine a plane you can’t.

My parents picked up norovirus on a flight to South Carolina, but apparently so did a huge portion of the flight. Not enough bathrooms is all i can say about that.. norovirus only has a 5-6 hour incubation period before you start to vomit. What a nightmare

Did MSC MUSICA 2019 was absolutely awesome! Wind blew so strong we couldn't come back to Port so scored 2 extra free days!

04:10 Waiting for the mass pooping and vomiting to die down.. Lol!!!

Wow the last time I was early, Anne Boleyn still had a head

That's why I never book people on any Carnival ships. My favorite mainstream cruise lines are Holland America and Celebrity.

I live in Juneau Alaska, the same town the Cruise Ship Docked at as the first story in this video happened. I ended up doing a few months in Jail and even met the guy that killed his wife..when he was finally detained he had been in the process of trying to throw her body over board. He said the reason he did it is because she wouldn't stop laughing at him. He actually died a year or so ago in jail from a heart attack.

Just when I was thinking about going on a cruise.

What about diamond princess Everyone on cruise got the coronavirus

I remember some time ago when there was an acident near where the cruise ship i was in and the trip got delayed for like 3 hours, but the acident was anything mayor.

Last year, I went on my fourth cruise, and somehow I “lost” $150, that was in a safe, but also on that same cruise there was terrible weather.

I was on a Navy ship for two years, I'm sure my stories can rival yours.

I went on a cruise ship one year, I later found out that a waiter had got stuck in the elevator shaft on the same ship that me and my family was vacationing on. The elevator crushed the waiter alive, and blood poured from the elevator doors like that scene from The Shinning. We also found out that the ship had caught fire in past years...

I was on a different cruise ship but I remember hearing about cruise number ten on the way back to Seattle and mine and other cruise ships had to stop in Canada till the situation was handled.

Talk to the crew on your next cruise, if we ever get out of COVID. They will tell you almost every cruise someone commits suicide, usually jumping overboard. On the one we went on in 2013 around the Pacific islands from Australia someone disappeared. The crew thought he had jumped but they found him toward the end of the cruise in a store room that wasn’t used often. They assumed he felt unwell, wandered into the storeroom sat down and passed away. The room was one of the storerooms that stored alcohol.

"The ship was on fire." It was an easily containable engine room fire. However, an engine is an engine. As someone who rebuilt the burned engine on a Falcon, the electronics are the first to go. If the plug wires go, then that means the engine stalls. If the engine on a cruise ship stalls, the only usable piece of machinery is the pressurized water hose. The real danger was dehydration from the heat. Edit: Captain Schettino.

COVID 19 is having a big laugh right now...

someone brings a virus onboard Halo players: “Infection, last man standing” Fire or flooding? WoWS players: damage control Pirates? WoWS players: close quarters expert

That number 8 ship sounds like diamond princess…

Did you notice when the consta Concordia sank on ✨ f r i d a y t h e 1 3

Me 12 minutes ago before I clicked on this video: “I wonder if we can go on a cruise ship after this all blows over...” Me now: eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nah fam

I’m more shocked someone remembers Empress of Ireland! Sheesh I thought it was just me!

Literally, it’s a floating Petri dish 😂 🧫

How does it say uploaded 28 seconds ago but the comments are 5 hours ago whaaat

8:39 Infographics: "This happened on Friday The 13th." Me: "Well duh!"

If you think a guest has a stressful time in a cruise line, imagine the crew who has to stay for months

I've been on the carnival 🛳 july 2004 to Bahamas and August 2011 to Bermuda both cruises went great

A cruise ship can be a luxury, a prison or a floating coffin in the middle of the sea.

My parents always bring back the norovirus every time the go on a cruise, and they quarantine. One time the rich kids at my old university got it shut down for an extra week after Winter Break because 100 of them had the norovirus from going on cruises in the Caribbean.

60 frames per second just make these videos better! I love your content !

But cruises are fun with delicious food

3:40 bro that's the wrong toilet
