Snooze on your cruise with Manta Sleep at bit.ly/45749rg and use code “billiam” for 10% off your order!
I hated all advertisements....until now.
I'm intrigued.
this is honestly a life saver, i’ve struggled with needing asmr to sleep as a side sleeper all my life and this actually seems like a proper well thought out solution!
Answer my question please ^_^
You’re telling me you have a video about a cruise *_SHIP_* with the sponsor Manta and didn’t make a smooth segue at all? Shame
Honestly, Mark has threatened to take practically EVERY crew menber on the ship to court, and mentions prison time constantly.
Its like he's a one-man Gestapo.
While learning about safety regulations and background checks for cruises. I learned that if you owe child support they will not let you on the ship, I find that funny and great that they do a well enough check that they know you didn’t pay your child support. like bud you ain’t even pay for your kids you ain’t getting on this boat
Glad it’s easier to buy a gun than board a cruise
@@meerab6457 Me too!
That's only if you have a warrant for unpaid child support you can owe a ton you just can't have a warrant. That's a very basic check.
@@trashbasket11Yeah that makes sense. My dad has owed tons of child support and has been on cruises before but my mom never went after him for any of the back pay (any court is stressful). Hell, he probably used child support money to go on those cruises because he and my stepmom are giant scumballs who have no problem robbing their own parents.
Imagine paying child support 😂 American L
I was watching this and felt actual whiplash, my mom is a travel agent. This cruise already sounded like something I’ve heard before, then I saw Joe. I KNOW JOE, BECAUSE MY MOM BOOKED THIS CRUISE FOR HIM
my dad is the boat
@@MasterWilliam770your dad has alot of people inside him
@@redwiltshire1816 that’s what she said
That's actually really wholesome. So far Joe and his wife are my favorites. They seem sweet
@@bboops23 they are, sweetest people I know, I’m hoping the cruise starts going better solely because I don’t want his big retirement celebration of a cruise to be a bad experience
So its not even 2 months in and we have:
- black passengers being assumed to be staff by both other passengers and staff themselves
- a four person fist fight
- a passenger going on a live drunk racist rant
- a false alarm for swingers (but also maybe not, just not those people?)
- someone on shore calling the boat in order to get a tiktoker kicked out of the exclusive lounge they were doing a live in
- multiple tender ports missed due to terrible weather
- highschool style rumours being spread about a sober passenger being a former alcoholic
- a whole deck (and many rooms) flooded
- passengers allegedly faking illness in order to get off the boat and have insurance get their money back
- the boat running out of wine
** The "four person fist fight" is actually inaccurate. It was three people who, together, assaulted one person that turned out to actually not even be the correct target for the premeditated assault.
oh god, and they still have seven months left to go.
From the audience it's a glorious entertaining mess
Well, from what I understand, somebody died. Old age, natural causes, so no cause for alarm, and they're understandably keeping it mostly quiet and private, but yeah...😬
Sounds like a party lol
The fact that people funded someone specifically to ruin the cruise for our entertainment like a damn career tribute in the hunger games 😂😂😂
And he ruined the cruise by...telling the truth.
Seems like he was well liked by those who didn’t just want to wish death on someone tbh
😂😂😂😂
A@@TheRealCardoso
I’m so happy for Billiam making bite sized videos to lure in unsuspecting viewers only to show them his dozens of hours of Lost content
Yeah. 22 minutes is definitely "Bite sized" in comparison to... those other videos
@@CulcoyoteCosmicosome may say fruity
Personally I wish he made more bite sized videos.
Wait, this isn't a Lost video?
this is so funny i can’t
Shoutout to Mark for using TikTok's unending hunger for drama to go on a sponsored vacation lol
Just leave it to tiktok to turn a crime scene into an escape room
The app is literal aids to society and i wish it didn't exist
Can you blame them though that’s fun as hell
Crime scene?
It’s always weird when people get so mad about legitimate criticism just because it’s something they love.
Parasocial relationships with a fucking boat, while the cruiseline couldn't care less about them.
Right? It's so wild how people are defending this massive company from criticisms that would ultimately only benefit them as consumers.
People are idiot sheep that don’t have common sense (especially in how they react to genuine constructive criticism!)
Star Wars / Trek has entered the chat (i mean really any fandom after a certain size).
I am not on TikTok and have been wondering how this cruise is going. I don't know why that women was so pressed about that guys comments about the people not making a living wage. Working on a cruise ship is brutal and they don't get paid enough, Most employees are working 10+ hour days and have no days off. The only time they get off is between shifts. Side note but all of the cruise ship employees who document their experience that I have seen are entertainers, and their experience and privileges are completely different from most other workers. It honestly drives me insane how they don't mention that.
I mean ive worked on a naval vessel and what youre forgetting is that for the duration of your time on ship you have your housing and food covered by your employer, as well as electricity, water, and wifi. Working on a cruise ship has its perks due to the safety from other threats that you find on shipping, there is the inherent dangers of ocean travel. But on things like a cargo ship you have a smaller crew and the chance of being attacked by pirates depending on your shipping lanes. But its literally insane to say people arent making a living wage when the job provides all living amenities to the crew, if housing, food, water, and entertainment arent things needed to be supplied for in a living wage i honestly dont know what we need to live. But a 10 hour shift isnt strange for working on any ship, you get 8 hours for sleep and 6 hours of free time, i had a 13 hour shift for two months on ship. Due to all these factors the money you make for the entire trip is just banked and when you get off you can end up with a very pretty penny. Of course if you want to make real money on the ocean you go into work like crabbing which is big risk big reward or dangerous cargo lines which also have big reward but those jobs also have an insanely higher level of work required for that big money.
Also you have to remember that a engineering officer is going to be making way more than a steward, janitor, or average deckhand. The guys deep in the bowels of the ship have a lot more to focus on than tiktok since if they fail in their duties peoples lives are at risk, as such those jobs pay way higher. I just wanted to clear some realities of the jobs up. Lol if you think this job is worth calling out just wait until you hear about the military pay and weekend plans on Navy ships, a cruise ship is a dream in comparison.
@@rottytherottski522 "other people gave it worse" is never the convincing argument people think it is.
@@strayiggytv No, but having context for what working on ships is like is kind of key for understanding this job. Sure the joke at the end about navy ships was like that, but it was a joke not the argument. Unless your issue is with any context being given to a section of work in relation to other jobs in the same setting should not be given.
That Karen lady is a idiot 😅
@@rottytherottski522I mean, having all that other stuff covered "while you're there" seem nice, but unless they're working literally 365 days a year, one needs money for when they aren't on the ship.
To hell with hoping for a career change. They aint make enough to hold them over just likethe typical garbage jobs that aren't worth the time an energy unless one is a convict 😂
“Malls aren’t dying, they are moving out into the ocean, with the rest of our trash”
Holy shit!
Yeah that was a sick line
Since learning about germ theory, ive become very distrustful of cruises and waterparks alike. Im also a creature of the land, i have no desire to ever be out at sea.
I will say, hearing people call other people "characters" feels like a bad sign. They're not characters made to entertain, they're people living their lives
Imagine how shitty a life someone has to have to get so jealous of a guy on a cruise as to call the ship and get him escorted out of an area he wasn't supposed to be in. Imagine being THAT pathetic and petty. Ugh.
I made a comment once about having no desire to ever go on a cruise since the core aspect of being trapped on a boat full of drunk stranger's for weeks isn't something I enjoy...
Needless to say that started a comment chain of people ferociously telling me how wrong my opinion is.
Cruise ship fans are rabid.
I grew up on the ocean as a kid (dad was a clammer so being on a boat was a normal experience). You couldn't pay me enough to be on a cruise for that many weeks
I haven't gone, but I think a short cruise in Europe would be fine because those make more stops than the ones in the Caribbean.
The only kind of cruise I'd ever do is a summer cruise of a cold environment like Alaska or the Nordic countries and even then, max 5 days. Any more than that and I'd feel miserable.
Honestly doesn’t seem much different than vacationing at a resort. At a resort you’re also technically trapped there unless you just want to leave early and let your trip and money go to waste.
@@SquadPoop Ignoring that resorts have significantly more amenities and space, the option to leave at your convenience is infinitely better than only being able to leave at very specific timings (or only a single timing, depending on your means of travel).
As a former crew member of RCL, "adults who want to go to summer camp" is he best definition of the type of guests I have ever heard.
Not on TikTok, so this is the first I'm hearing of this thing.
And, unless Billiam makes a follow up video a few months from now, this will almost assuredly be the *last* time I hear of it as well.
Yes we will have to wait until July for the presidential speech
"Why is the eagle so sad?....is this 9/11" is underrated
So to summarize- the people on the Tiktok cruise aren't really doing anything of note, the poeple obsessively following it hoping to suckle some sweet drama aren't getting anything of note, and cruise ship crews are underpaid. I feel good that I was able to get that in 22 minutes than the hours I'd have wasted trying to go along with the Tiktok accounts day by day videos.
Marc is an angel. He seems genuinely nice and fun! People were out to get him before he got there.
It’s so strange seeing someone I went to high school with go viral for basically going on a cruise with her family.
I finally caved and went on a google journey about this cruise yesterday bc despite trying to avoid it, “9 month cruise” is all over every timeline it’s unavoidable
What social media are you on bc I've seen nothing anywhere but UA-cam.
@@lavendergorbach296 Same, I haven't heard of it until this video.
channel + subject manner has me imagining the comedy version of Lost they got in alternate universes, where they're all just trapped on a cruise ship for months.
Jack even used a water bottle at the end of lost😮😮😮
It's all connected
unseen staff, mysterious announcements, locked off sections, uncanny fake ports that seem right at first but the longer they stay the worse and worse it gets. Lots of opportunities for mystery and intrigue
@@skeleletonboi4533I'd watch that... heck, id pay to watch that as long as its executed great.
I was conjuring up somthing like this the whole time.
You put it in words
I don’t think they missed Antartica, I think no one realized they wouldn’t be going on land because their boat was too big. Only certain sized ships are allowed to land. So, everyone was pissed.
Oh my god. The moment you said it was like summer camp, it just clicked. Everything makes sense now.
As a couch potato, introverted, part-time weeb, gamer with a full time job; I couldn't care less about the small quarters or seeing the same people again and again. 9 Months is a bit long, but I'll manage. But you couldn't *pay* me enough money to get on a cruise. I also couldn't care less about the people on the cruise.
I just watch the video because Billiam seems like a good guy, so I watch his videos.
Yeah like. I don't know if I would necessarily want to be on a giant boat for nine months, but being able to go on a cruise like that would mean I have enough money to stop working for nine months and honestly that sounds kinda nice.
My mom told me that she has an acquaintance who is on the cruise and I really want to know their experience as a non-influencer based cruise goer. What have they seen? What have they experienced in interacting with influencer goers?
I could never do a cruise. I could never be stuck on a boat with a bunch of insufferable people, especially the problems they have with their plumbing, the flooding, the leaking. It's so expensive for basic rooms and food.
But i am so here for this content.
Corperate/company suck ups are the worst. They fight for companies that exploit them and don't give a shit aboit them personally yet they make collect calls to squeal on a harmless person taking a sneak peek into the elitism of people.
I LOVE Lost, but it’s always nice to have regular Billiam content
Regularity kills creativity and greatness. Art becomes content.
@@naturalstenchI agree with the sentiment but your making a mountain out of a mole hill
It's not that deep@@naturalstench
@@topcatfan It feels like they went out of their way to misinterpret the comment to try and sound profound
@@treaveannyretro92 I didn’t. Did you?
A stop in antarctica is literally the only conceivable thing that could convince me to get on a cruise ship, especially after the pandemic made me aware of what absolute disease playgrounds they are. And they didnt even actually do the stop in antarctica...
Well even if they did stop there they wouldn't be allowed to get off at Antarctica (despite what some delusional passengers seem to have thought). Boats that size with that many people do not have landing permissions for Antarctica
@@jazzycat8917i don't think it's delusional to expect what you're advertised to get. it's closer to delusional to assume the average person knowns about Antarctic laws.
There are cruises that are specifically for Antarctica, but they are much smaller ships and definitely a different sort of clientele. An elderly friend of mine went on one because she wanted to see Antarctica before global warming got much worse and it seemed like the people on the boat all just really loved nature. One was even a photographer and got high zoom pictures of the penguins when they were outside.
@@ShaCaro Except it's not advertised, it was a false assumption just because they read the itinerary and seen there's a stop at that location. Stops don't mean you can just leave the ship, or that ship will land at all.
cruise fans being insane and volatile is honestly the least surprising thing i've heard in awhile. also just heard about the weirdo who went live in the members only area and was apparently just spouting disgusting rhetoric, also unsurprising. cruises are already a measure of class and a 9 month one that costs $60k and doesn't include water bottles unless you've already spent literal years and hundreds of thousands on their other cruises feels like satire, but is also not that surprising, and it feels like the ones paying that much to get into the members area are clearly so privileged they're likely convinced inherently that all minorities are evil and trying to ruin their cruises via tiktok. shout out to that karen of the sea who clearly has never faced actual adversity in her life, claiming everyone who's employed on a cruise is just as well treated and well off as her. she's real aware of the world around her, i'm sure.
They are usually volatile because they are on the level with most people who use private jets and refuse to accept that their form of luxury is at the cost of the lower class, and involves abuse of the lower class, and damages the planet immensly.
the class system on cruises is absolutely a real issue. drove a wedge between family members on Carnival when i was a kid
People really wanting drama to happen really reminds me of a video I saw, can't remember by who, but it was about a study that a man did who was CONVINCED that people out at sea of differing walks of life in a stressful situation would either turn incredibly violent or incredibly horny. Instead they became really close and formed a little communal support system for each other and there was only maybe one instance of two people getting busy. The most stressed person on that boat WAS the researcher.
Sounds like the Acali Raft
I know Wendigoon did a video on it
I'm assuming you filmed this before *that one Pinnacle member* did a TikTok Live Thursday night that basically unleashed all kinds of unholy hell on the ship.
I just find it ironic that some RC loyalists went so hard on Marc Sebastian for simply pointing out the reality of cruise ship life. Apparently that's unforgivable, and swearing is unacceptable...
But racist, transphobic, and classist diatribes are perfectly fine exercises in "free speech."
Yikes.
What did they say? I'm not on TikTok and those news didn't show up on my twitter timeline
What happened?
Dude went live and ranted about how skin volour does not reflect how you get treated. That he got in trouble hes been pulled over by police... Basically a racist, bigotted and privilaged rant. @calummarkie covered it. 😮
that sounds awesome there needs to be more crazies on the cruise
@@milliondollarmistake I can’t tell if you’re being edgy or you’re just a complete fool lol
I’ve not used tik tok and never will so this is the first time I’m hearing about this. And unless somebody I watch makes a follow up video, it will almost certainly be the last time.
TO be fair, they do have to go advocate for themselves if they want a refund for the missed tender ports. I believe that its rare? in the cruise world for them to AUTOMATICALLY refund, and that in most cases unless it is clearly stated that they DO refund automatically for missed ports that you have A. have travel insurance that covers the risk or B. go and complain/ask for the refund personally to guest services.
It wouldn't be the first time a hospitality industry place operated a bit sussily in the shadows by hoping you won't know to ask until after the time has elapsed where you can, or after you've long left the cruise and its too late or something. It would be a way to make money anyway and businesses have never really shied away from making money off people's lack of awareness of processes and stuff. If it is not REQUIRED to tell you about how you can get money back, they wont.
My mum is going on her first cruise ever later this year and something I’ve learned second hand from her research is how insanely elitist cruise goers can be. You ask pretty much any question on one of their forums and you’ll be inundated with smarmy critiqued and “advice.”
Nothing is more funny than the cruise running out of wine of all things.
7:55 re: parasociality "You're not friends with me, but I could be friends with them."
LOL, that's adorably self-conscious.
I just was on a cruise and “Titanic” was the answer to one of the trivia questions…
What was the question? “Other then the cruise your on, what other ship didn’t have enough lifeboats?” 😵💫
I don’t have tiktok. Thanks for this lol
Edit: this is making me really glad I don’t have tiktok
I came for the drama, I stayed for the cute dorky grandparents.
ive been on a royal caribbean cruise once! (also my only cruise) a 10 day affair w 3 days spent at destinations. and even *then*, w the interruptions to the time spent at sea, i was already feeling trapped by day 8. i could never imagine being stuck as a passenger for 9 months!
6:30 and yeah thats a thing that all rc ships do on the last few days for some reason! (my sister & i won bc we were the only ones who bothered to find a plastic bag to make a parachute out of)
also the wifi is not complementary! these tictokers r paying for the luxury of posting (and no, phone service only rly works in ports, ud b lucky to get anything other than a single bar of legacy (ie phonecall only) service)
@@vulpixie__ honestly having been on one im shocked it works well enough to post a tiktok, i honestly sort of thought it might be mobile service somehow because the internet was that worthless there lmao
A "no swear zone" is not a fine policy, it is patronising and insane.
The Ultimate World Cruise: *exists.*
People on TikTok: Is this a reality show?
Omg yes! Summercamp with booze!😂
imagine someone who booked the cruise specifically to see antartica and now theyre just pissed for months
I love that karen of the seas put quotes around liveable wage
How is that one man can be so handsome and so humorous??? Insane vid bro, keep it up 💥💯
no offense but "a one way ticket to sleep" just sounds like dying.
feel oddly called out by the ad read being a “snooze cruise” cuz the first cruise I went on was with a group of people with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia … we were on the Carnival Triumph not too long after it broke down and got stuck at sea n had major food and running water n toilet issues 🤢 this video is too relatable
As someone who has BEEN on the Seranade of the Sea (that exact ship), I would have shot for a nicer place to be trapped on for several months. There were some... concerning technical problems during my trip (not surprised at all about the pool deck lol)
Respect for putting Ruby/Sapphire swim theme into the video
I'm literally playing emerald right now, and geeked out a bit when I heard the swim music in the video lol
3:29 trying to take a cruise ship through the ice sheets sounds like a terrible idea
7:55 i really appreciate billiam's willingness to be vulnerable to me. that's why he's my best friend.
Great commentary!! And what a sweater!! It looks beautiful on you!
I love the way billiam says ‘the boat’ like it’s a LOST video and he says ‘THE ISLAND’
Not sure if anyone commented, but the godmother of a ship is a person chosen to sponsor a new ship. I usually think of it like they are there for the "christening" of a new ship. I believe they typically pick celebrities, royalty, or someone important.
I thought the title said they turned Tom Cruise into a reality show, and now i'm slightly disappointed
He's been a reality show ever since he got into that cult.
Tom Cruise turned HIMSELF into a reality show.
Imagine if Tom Cruise was 9 months long
Love the new haircut
this just goes to show much i I go on tiktok as this is the first I'm hearing about this (outside of the 9 mouth cruise a friend told me about that a while ago) and it's wild
This is the first time hearing about this world cruise, and I've been checking out Marc Sebastian's tiktoks and it's a gold mine. Dude is just reveling in people getting pissed at him!
Oh the pineapple lady is just so charming xD
Adita is so sweet, she didnt even know what swingers was and that the pinapple meant something else-
She basically became an icon on the ship
I'll never understand cruise ships.
Honestly the debate about whether or not someone is a swinger is..gross? I'm confused why we're all openly speculating about someone's sexual preferences as if that isn't a very well known form of sexual harassment. I've had people try to play sleuth on my interests in the bedroom before and it's genuinely so very uncomfortable. Who gives a crap if there's pineapples. It's none of your business. Stop swarming people online trying to figure out how they screw.
I'm glad i watched you video on this. I enjoyed it. Thank you! You're like the second UA-cam video I've watched on the world cruise but I've seen a couple advertised that i didn't watch.
Wholesome take. Still working my way through the lost video series!
This is essentially a legion of malcontents wishing they could also take a 9 month long vacation, desperately wishing the people who could have as bad a time as possible for the sake of schadenfreude and entertainment. And it's honestly sad, social media really is a plague.
I'm so glad you made a video about this because I heard about it in passing, but I didn't want to take the time to find out more for myself haha
I mostly wanted the harmless funny stuff like the pineapple misunderstanding and the wine shortage.
What I didn't expect was seeing what looks like a prototype for the Fallout live action.
What if they got... Lost???
I'm so glad you covered this!
This is the best video I've seen on this topic!
I hate reality shows so I haven’t watched any of these people’s TikToks. I actually hate TikTok. HOWEVER, Billiam if you hopped on I’d watched your experience. Because you are truly entertaining.
Watching this almost a week late, but a Billiam video is always a great time for me, regardless of the subject matter.
Hey rad video, and also I like your sweater! Your style is always absolute fire, I appreciate that and you should know it is noticed
As someone that just went on a cruise (in winter) after the first 2 days you kinda just stand around asking “well what do we do now?”
I have no idea how I missed this, but a video about this cruise right during your "Lost deep dive" era is absolutely perfect.
I got an ad for a cruise ship on this and this is my first cruise related video ive watched in years
I like watching you entertainingly talk about things I personally don't care about. You make it more interesting.
Nice video as always, in the middle of watching your newest lost video and it’s very good as well
I want, “Dance for me, IT’S HUMAN NATURE!” on a hoodie.
Fingers crossed for a part 2 for this when the cruise is over. 🤞
Looking forward to the new Billiam series! Cruise ship travel vlogs!!!
My wife and I took a week-long Royal Caribbean cruise a couple months ago and we had such a good time…but I can’t even imagine doing a trip anything more than that
haircut is freshhhh
The half in a bag intro music really gave this a certain vibe. Good job Billy!
Lol. Sounds like living in a small town with a finicky car...
Also Billiam, your hair looks 🔥
THE WAY MY HEART LEAPT OUT OF MY CHEST WHEN YOU SAID “What do you think, Savanna?” 😭
Yasss, Billiam talking about my new obsession of this social experiment
I really don’t understand why this is only taking off now. Super long world cruises have been around for years
This is a great video, and I’d have never heard about this without it
20:45 man I love billy’s delivery
Lol loved how you covered the fun lil events they do. hahahahahahah!
I am into you, being into this! I support you Billiam!
Love this channel!
I only knew Marc from BookTok and his gachapon-opening videos, so to suddenly see him become Enemy #1 in the Royal Caribbean sphere was absolutely jarring. Thanks, Billiam, for providing the timeline of events that led to this point.
Great video!! for some reason, this wasnt in my notifications even tho i have your notifs on! WTH youtube!
10:40 LMAO! This is one epic joke. Would be even funnier if it's true.
As a juicer, I find 5:27 absolutely hilarious and unexpected.
