A video posted on TikTok shows a group of Cubans taking over the party on the MSC Seaside cruise, dancing and chanting the song "Marca Mandarina" by the Cuban artists Oniel Bebehito and El Taiger. While many celebrated the joy of the moment, others responded with criticism and mockery.
In the clip shared by the account @covatravels, dozens of passengers are seen dancing on various decks of the luxurious ship, while the DJ energizes the dance floor with Cuban music. The author of the video wrote: “Night 2 on the MSC Seaside… and the Cubans took charge!”
The moment felt like a perfect celebration, but not everyone saw it that way on social media. The comments on TikTok were filled with criticism and sarcasm:
"Tell me which one it is so I don't go," "I hope it's AI," "I'm jumping off the ship," several users wrote. Others came to the group's defense, pointing out that cruises are meant for enjoyment. "If you don't want a party, don't go on cruises," replied one internet user.
Amid jokes, criticism, and applause, the video has garnered thousands of views and has become a topic of debate among those who defend Cuban enthusiasm and those who find it “too loud” for an upscale environment.
Meanwhile, many Cubans celebrate that their music continues to conquer international stages, proving that wherever there are Cubans, there is a party.
