A passenger who said he was temporarily unable to reboard the Royal Caribbean's Ultimate World Cruise he was traveling on now appears to be resuming his journey on the ship.
After documenting the fiasco that he said kept him away from the ship for 12 days, Anthony McWilliams shared a TikTok video on Friday saying he was back on board.
"My room & belongings were well taken care of while gone. 12 days later, It feels good to be back on board!" part of a caption on McWilliams' video, in which he showed he was back in his room on the cruise ship, said.
BI previously reported McWilliams wanted to take a short trip to Brazil, asking ship officials for permission to disembark at one port along the journey and reboard at a later date.
McWilliams previously told BI that Royal Caribbean informed him that Brazil would not allow him to disembark and reboard the cruise at a different port. BI was not able to verify this at the time.
Instead of disembarking in Brazil, McWilliams left the cruise in Grenada and intended to reboard in Montevideo, Uruguay, BI previously reported.
On Thursday, McWilliams said on TikTok that he was in Uruguay and would be reboarding the ship, going on to share updates on TikTok from aboard the Ultimate World Cruise.
He also posted several videos of his trip to Brazil, sharing his experiences with his 116,000 TikTok followers.
McWilliams previously told BI that Brazil had a special place in his heart as he had visited the country with his husband, Michael, who died of cancer in 2018. McWilliams added that he was taking the cruise in memory of Michael.
"Brazil is my favorite place to visit. I love it here. It's so scenic. And then again, my very first time coming to Brazil was in 2007 — my husband, Michael, brought me here," he told BI's Julie Gerstein.
"I walk the streets of Brazil and remember him," he added.
On TikTok, the Ultimate World Cruise has been a hot topic. For the past month, viewers have been gripped by creators sharing their experiences on the around-the-world cruise, hoping for reality-TV-style drama, BI previously reported.
Representatives for Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I paid $55,000 to go on a 3-year cruise around the world after my wife died. The cruise was abruptly canceled, and I still haven't been refunded.
This is an as-told-to story based on a conversation with David Purcell, 78, a retired attorney. It has been edited for length and clarity. Purcell was among the dozens of people who signed up for a three-year cruise with Life at Sea — an around-the-world journey that was canceled two weeks before its departure.
