Cruise passengers share why you never leave your cabin balcony door open
A couple on a cruise ship have learned the hard way why you should never leave the balcony door in your cruise cabin open and unattended for too long.
While on a cruise around the US and docked in the port of Orlando in Florida, the couple took to TikTok to share their "horror" experience of when their cabin filled up with birds.
In the video, they opened the door to their room and were swarmed by a flock of birds as they captioned the video, "When you go on a cruise and you come back to a bunch of (bird emoji) everywhere."
"Felt like we were living in a horror movie scene. I can breathe now because I can (laugh)about it," the passenger added.
The video was taken on the Carnival Freedom cruise ship in the USA, with the couple later posting another video of a room steward catching two birds in a cardboard box.
Viewers in the comments were a mix of amused and horrified, as one person wrote, "You're not supposed to leave your balcony door open when you're gone."
"You have a whole Alfred Hitchcock movie in your room," another commented, comparing the scene with the film, The Birds.
Others speculated that the unusual behaviour of the birds could be impacted by the nearby Hurricane Milton.
