When a family and lifestyle influencer with millions of followers filmed her family’s first moments entering their cruise ship suite, she also inadvertently captured their startled realization that they’d walked into the wrong room — a mistake made possible by a potentially flawed security practice: room keys taped to doors.

Rachel Sullivan, known as @rachsullivan__ on TikTok, posted the video this week to her over 2 million followers, showing her and her husband’s humorous reactions when they walked into the wrong cabin.

“We’re in the wrong one,” her husband exclaimed as he tried to usher out their toddler and made a grab for the family’s bags. ” … Because the room keys are on the door!”

At least one passenger was injured after viral video online shows acrylic glass panel of water slide on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas suddenly shattering while he was inside, media outlets reported Friday.

The incident happened Thursday and the man was treated for injuries by the ship’s medical staff, the cruise line said in a statement to media. The severity of the man’s injuries was not immediately available Friday.

Videos of the aftermath have gained traction online showing passengers screaming to lookouts on the slide, warning them that there was a gaping hole spouting water in the acrylic drop slide. The ship — which set sail from Port Miami on Aug. 2 — closed off the slide for the remainder of the voyage while officials conduct an investigation into how this could have occurred.

A residential cruise ship on a three-year voyage was just shy of a few points it needed to pass a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) health inspection, officials said.

The Villa Vie Odyssey received an 81 during its July 9 inspection when it needed an 86 to pass, according to reporting from USA Today. Inspectors with the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) reported issues in areas such as potable water to food safety and housekeeping. One inspector reportedly discovered a waffle iron that was allegedly covered in grease and “black debris” that was being stored with clean equipment. Water was also found pooled beneath one of the wine cellar refrigerators. Near another refrigerator on another deck, inspectors said they found fruit flies.

Safety signs were also reportedly missing from the ship’s pool which would indicate depth markers in both feet and meters.
