IT seems that mainstream media continues to look for any opportunity to denigrate cruising with click-bait headlines, with a leaking water pipe aboard a recent Carnival Vista cruise in the Western Caribbean likened to a “Titanic-like” scene.
A report on news.com.au this week claimed a group of cruisers “were woken to what they feared was a real-life titanic event,” highlighting a TikTok video of the incident, in which the passengers dramatically said that “our lives flashed before our eyes”.
“There were Titanic vibes for about five minutes,” the social media post added – before clarifying that the incident was caused by a “busted pipe”.
The passenger later did a follow-up video, insisting that she wasn’t “trash-talking” the cruise company, but rather “documenting a scary experience that turned out funny,” adding that she and her friends “still had a blast”.
