Viral TikToker Marc Sebastian is sharing the number one rule he learned during his time on Royal Caribbean’s nine-month cruise.
The social media star — who’s been sharinghis experiences on the Utlimate World Cruisefor the past 18 nights — said using the word “Titanic” is a big no-no on a cruise ship after a mishap he had in mentioning it to fellow passengers.
“Who knew that? I didn’t,” Sebastian said in a newclipposted Monday which showed him reciting a “list of things I’ve learned about cruising” in his room.
With a pen and notebook in hand, he explained, “I brought it up to an entire room of people having lunch that our ship is only 100 feet longer than the Titanic — when I tell you that utensils dropped. Waiters gasped. It’s dead silent.”

“Well, it wasn’t like that was in the f—ing handbook,” he noted.
