Couple Faces Hilariously Awkward Moment On Ship After Lying About Being On Honeymoon

Couple Faces Hilariously Awkward Moment On Ship After Lying About Being On Honeymoon

TikToker Ricky Liu and his boyfriend lied about being on their honeymoon to get a free upgrade on their room while on a cruise in Vietnam—but they didn't expect their lie to be broadcast to the entire ship.

File this one under: when travel hacks backfire in a sweet, albeit guilt-inducing, way.

TikToker Ricky Liu and his boyfriend recently took a cruise in Vietnam and engaged in a well-known "hack" for travel: they told the crew of the ship that they were on their honeymoon so they could score a room upgrade.


But they were on a honeymoon for a wedding they had not had yet, as they aren't even engaged, let alone married.

What happened after the crew upgraded their room was a comedy of awkwardness. It turned out this cruise ship's honeymoon suite and treatment is very enthusiastic, so not only did the room upgrade come with rose petals on the bed, they were also celebrated at dinner.

The table for two was set with even more rose petals, and staff came by with rainbow colored drinks and swayed along with cellphones lit as Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" played over the speakers.

The two could not have looked more embarrassed and guilty during the whole event.

Folks really empathized with their awkward guilt.

But really, many argued, it's probably okay because they are actually dating each other.

Once people realized they weren't just two guy friends, it became a lot more understandable.
