It's not uncommon for those travelling on a cruise to get a bit of cabin fever at some point. Especially if they're travelling for weeks or even months at a time.
Thanks to the nine-month cruise, dubbed the 'Ultimate World Cruise', life at sea is trending on social media with travellers sharing their honest perspectives of what its really like to be onboard a ship for extended periods at a time.

One TikTok video of a traveller onboard the vessel has caused 'panic' among viewers as they realise it's not all fun and games going on holiday for nine months at a time. Who would've guessed?
Serenade of the Seas, a 21-year-old ship belonging to the Royal Caribbean cruise line, has received mixed views for deciding to embark on an almost year-long trip.
Marc Sebastian is one of the many travellers onboard the cruise, having secured himself a spot after publisher, Atria Books, sponsored his journey.

However, Marc is just embarking on a small snippet of the cruise's journey - 18 nights to be exact - to provide insights.
He recently posted a video to TikTok giving viewers a tour of his room, along with the hilarious caption: "For 18 nights? fine. But for nine months? No can do babe."
However, old-fashioned cabins aren't the only thing that's made the short stint difficult for Marc, as since reaching the Drake Passage, the journey has become a little rougher than expected.

If you're not familiar already, the Drake Passage is a body of water between South America's Cape Horn, Chile, Argentina and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, notorious for its rough waters and incredibly high waves.
Marc posted a video of himself sat next to a porthole window as the waves crash beside him.
"It's been a little crazy today," he says. "Nothing too bad but it's been a little intense."
Marc keeps a close eye on the waves as he unboxes a Gachapon toy.

While he's assembling the toy a series of large waves pass his porthole window and he exclaims: "Oh, that's coming right for my window. That's coming right for my window."
Marc's TikTok followers raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the gigantic waves.
One wrote: "Coolest video of the Drake passage so far."

Another said: "How high up is your window!? I can’t."
A third added: "So you’re just putting all your trust in that glass and them little bolts?"
Someone else commented: "I'd panic if the water hit my window like that."
While a final user penned: "Hell nah. That looks so scary."
