If you’ve ever cruised, you know there’s a LOT of people watching going on.
In the era of social media, it was just a matter of time before passengers took it upon themselves to begin documenting all of the drama that goes on during a long-term cruise.
On Royal Caribbean’s “Serenade of the Seas” is a nine month long cruise around the world, stopping on all 7 continents, the passengers have a lot of time on their hands. Add in some iPhone 13s and high speed Starlink internet, and you have a recipe for multiple YouTube and TikTok channels feeding an insatiable appetite for cruise drama!
That appetite has extended to people whose feet are still planted firmly on shore and who have never ventured on a cruise before, but found themselves going down the cruise drama rabbit hole. A whole crop of TikTokers and YouTubers who aren’t even on the cruise have sprung up to share with their audience what is going on with the cruisers who they are following on TikTok. It’s enough to make my head hurt, but yet I’ll admit I’ve tuned in – because I apparently love drama!
As you can imagine, taking a 9 month long cruise can’t be cheap. Prices per person range from $59,999 to $117,599 per person, before you add in taxes, fees, or any shore excursions and adult beverages.
So if you miss watching the Jersey Shore, and love drama, check out TikTok for coverage of Royal Caribbean’s “Serenade of the Seas” nine month cruise around the world, and the color commentary of those watching from shore.
