People have been left terrified after seeing what a cruise looks like at night, and are vowing that they’ll never go on one now they know…
Many people view cruises as the ultimate in vacation relaxation.
You can eat and drink whatever you like, plus enjoy a whole host of activities on board, all while visiting stunning vacation spots on shore, too.
But maybe cruises aren’t as dreamy as we tend to think…
Social media has been going wild after discovering what cruises look like at night.
After the sun goes down, cruises can take on a rather more eery appearance.
TikTok user @chasingthedream.hj shared a video of a cruise ship after dark which has provided the internet with some serious nightmare fuel.
The video shows the terrifying reality of nighttime on a cruise ship, and it left many feeling absolutely petrified.
One creeped-out viewer says: “Yes! No one talks about this but it’s so terrifying.”
Another adds: “Nope, I have a weird thing about bodies of water at night! That would creep me out way too much.”
Someone else comments: “You cannot pay me enough to go on a cruise.”
“And that’s why…..I WILL NEVER,” another vows.
However, some others disagree that these sights are actually scary.
One writes: “I don’t know why people see this as a shock. You’re literally in the middle of the ocean. You put your trust in the staff and captains. I love cruises and all of the excursions.”
Another agrees: “It’s beautiful. Peaceful. I don’t find it scary at all!”
“Ahh I think it’s one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had and I’m lucky to have had the opportunity.” writes a third.
Another TikTok user, @victorias.way, posted a similar video about how frightening cruise ships can feel at night.
She explains that she ‘wasn’t prepared’ for what she saw when she stepped out on her balcony at night.
“It’s not even that I’m in the middle of the ocean right now,” she began. “The darkness is unreal… pitch black […] I think it’s better not to take a cabin with a balcony on a cruise. Stay safe!
TikToker @chasingthedream.hj explains: “Unless you’ve been on a cruise ship, you’re not going to understand how dark it gets at night.
“And then they say, ‘all you’re doing is showing the swimming pool’, it’s kind of because there’s nothing to see if you look overboard at night because it’s absolutely pitch black.”
He then explains it’s ‘the blackest black you’ll ever see’, before moving the camera and showing the viewer for themselves…
