The video creator, who has 15.3M likes on TikTok, recently took to the app and shared a playlist of how she stays safe when cruising.
One of the videos, “On the last night of the cruise, I wanted to stay safe, so I did these things” received over 6.3M views.
Her tips include locking the doors with two hangers, rolling up a medium sized towel and placing it behind the door handle to block it from opening, installing a door stop alarm, installing a wireless security camera in an inconspicuous place and even placing a heavy chair against the door.
According to the video content creator, some methods may seem too extreme especially when travelling but one should be safe than sorry.
However, some TikTok users weren’t too sure about her methods of keeping safe.
One user, @soarinfan, commented: “on the last night of the cruise? what made the first 6 nights safe?”
Another user, @igeorgejs, said: “Dam which hood this cruise in? 😭”
@amaronamie commented: “ummm.. there's an option of not going on the cruise.”
While @yvonda72 said: “If I had to do all of that I would’ve stayed home!”
