"Viral Videos Expose Flooding Drama on Nine-Month World Cruise"
Passengers on the Royal Caribbean Ultimate World Cruise experienced a "trip from hell" when their ship, Serenade of the Seas, encountered a storm with 60mph winds and heavy rain, causing flooding on board. The 274-night journey, which costs between $53,000 to $105,000, was less than two weeks underway when the incident occurred. Despite the flooding, the ship continued to its next destination, Montevideo, as scheduled. Passengers documented the ordeal on TikTok, including concerns over low wine supplies, but the cruise line reported that only minor clean-up and elevator repairs were needed, and the journey continued with replenished supplies.
