A now-unavailable video of a man jumping off the Puerta Maya pier in Cozumel, Mexico, and swimming away from a Carnival cruise ship had gone viral on TikTok, drawing over 1.8 million views, according to Boarding Area. The clip was apparently posted by a creator who goes by Exquisite (@mzvictorious33) on TikTok, and it showed the man ignoring two life preservers thrown by crew before being pulled out of the water by a rescue boat. The incident reportedly took place aboard the Carnival Breeze.
Exquisite, described on her channel as an entrepreneur who mostly shares family and business content, said her group had been on their way back to the ship after an afternoon in Cozumel when the incident unfolded. She captioned the video: “This was so scary and completely off guard #fyp #carnivalcruise #cozumel #jumpintheocean #overboard.” The four-minute clip reportedly opens with her group dancing on the pier before the camera shifts to catch the man already in the water.
