    A nine-month cruise around the world cruise turned into a trip from hell for some passengers, after a storm at sea caused major flooding to certain areas of the ship.  

    The Royal Caribbean Ultimate World Cruise is a 274-night journey that will visit more than 60 countries, with passengers seeing 11 wonders of the world - on a vacation that cost anywhere between $53,000 to more than $105,000.

    The ship, called Serenade of the Seas, departed from Miami, Florida on December 10, 2023 - but on January 2, less than two weeks in, while sailing towards Montevideo, Uruguay, it was battered by 60mph winds and heavy rain. 

    Many disgruntled cruise goers took to TikTok to report the deluge, with one woman revealing how she had to move rooms, while one couple complained that in the midst of the chaos, wine supplies were running low.

    Explaining what happened in her case, Nadine Bowers said: 'Where my balcony was there's an overhang and the rain was coming in so heavy, it was hitting directly the window and coming down and it was all gathering in the rail... and then pouring over the top.'

    While the flooding in her room 'wasn't severe' she said she had to move rooms and put heat fans in her room to dry out the carpet. 

    She told viewers: 'It's just very smelly. I don't know if you guys have been around wet carpet and blowers before but it blows up all the dust and everything.

    'It was just too much for me, so they put me up very kindly in another room.'

    In other TikToks uploaded by @aditaml2759, severe flooding can be seen on Deck 12, with several inches of water washing over the carpet. 

    The cruise goer explained that the elevators had also been shut down as a result of the storm.

    A video montage posted @accuweather shows sheets of water flooding the main sundeck and pool area, while the gym was also awash.

    In a bid to keep the water levels down, a mound of sodden gym towels appear on the ground.  

    As the flooding was going on, cruise passengers Mike and Nancy Jacobs told their TikTok fans that their biggest concern was that the ship's wine supplies were running low.

    Deeming the shortage 'the ultimate world cruise drama,' Mike revealed how staff told him that the passengers had gone through more wine than they had anticipated and they were struggling to restock. 

    In regards to the flooding, cruise operator Royal Caribbean told DailyMail.com that a 'minor clean-up and elevator repairs' were carried out and the ship managed to sail to its next destination, Montevideo, and arrive as scheduled on January 4. 

    Updates from the TikTokers show how the flood waters dissapated and Mike and Nancy also revealed that the wine supplies were replenished on reaching Uruguay.

    A number of TikTok videos previously shared by passengers showed themselves boarding the cruise liner, giving tours of their rooms and what they do day-to-day whilst at sea -  and those left on land are utterly fascinated.

    While the passengers board the ship and prepare their sea legs, the rest of the world is eagerly waiting to see what exactly happens when you spend nine months at sea.
