A woman who dresses up as Disney characters for a living has had the opposite of a fairytale ending after catching her boyfriend “cheating” during a friends outing on a cruise ship.
TikTok influencer Kayla Gardner was stunned when her friend noticed her boyfriend during a secret rendezvous while innocently scrolling through CCTV footage available on the TV in their cabin.
In the first “how to catch a cheater on a cruise ship” video, Gardner explains that her boyfriend allegedly lied to her and said he was “going to get some food” before being caught in the scandalous encounter with another woman .
She was seen summarizing the incident and said she did not go with him, instead staying with her boyfriend to prepare when her boyfriend warned her about the betrayal.

“The most heartbreaking moment in life is when you go on a cruise and your husband says he’s hungry and goes to get some food, so you stay behind at the cabin getting ready with your boyfriend,” she summarized . .
And she flips through the TV when she gets to the channel that shows you live what’s happening on every deck of the ship.
She notices your husband, who doesn’t get food, but gets another woman’s number, flirts with her, puts his arm around her, and your friend takes everything for receipts.
“Because how can you confront a guy with no receipts, he’ll just deny everything so you can relive that moment over and over again because you can’t help but watch it a million times and pray for a different outcome.”
In the second video, titled “My friend caught him cheating in real time thanks to the ship’s live cameras,” the friend is first heard asking Gardner “who is she.”
“That can’t be him at all,” you hear Gardner say in shock.
“He looks just like him,” says the friend.
Gardner then turns to her friend with concern, saying “stop” a few times before revealing that she feels “stressed” as she bites her nails.
The third video shows the man pulling the woman in so that her head rests on his shoulder, eliciting a scream from Gardner who rushes to the door of the cabin to look for him.
Gardner is then seen yelling into a walkie-talkie, telling the group of friends she is on the cruise with that there is a 911 emergency on the upper Lido deck and begging them to join her there, apparently to help him to confront.
“Why do they even have cameras on a ship, for what, why would I want to look at the Lido deck,” Gardner is heard to say, seeming to grow more and more excited as the incident unfolds.
“Oh my god, oh my god,” she continues as her boyfriend moves closer to the camera as he talks to another woman, whom Gardner and her boyfriend don’t know.
“This isn’t happening,” Gardner said in awe of the situation, watching as he puts his arm around the mysterious woman.
Carnival Cruises said on its website that there are several cameras around their ships for guest safety and security, with some cameras using facial recognition technology to ensure the correct passengers are on board.
In the third video, the man can be seen pulling the woman in so that her head rests on his shoulder, prompting a scream from Gardner who runs to the door of the cabin to look for him.
“I’ll be right back,” Gardner can be heard saying before stopping as her boyfriend exclaims “he’s giving her his number.”

While it’s not clear what happened to the boyfriend, a fourth video titled “cruise cheater part four” showed some footage of a fire and rescue boat surveying the ocean alongside the cruise ship.
“I’ll be right back,” Gardner can be heard saying before stopping as her boyfriend yells “he’ll give her his number.”
The video was accompanied by a comment, “What happened to the cheater on the cruise?” I hope you threw him off the ship.”
Gardner responded with the caption, “Use your deductive reasoning skills to figure out what happened…not to blame myself, but.”
The videos received thousands of comments and a combined total of just under 26 million views.
In a clip in the aftermath of the cruise ship, she thanked her followers for starting her journey to the end of the relationship and revealed she was single.
“Good evening passengers, this is your captain Hot Girl Summer speaking,” the video caption read.
“Thanks for joining us on the Carnival cruise…as we begin to prepare for takeoff, please make sure your feelings are on airplane mode and your ex is on read.”

“This random girl started following me on TikTok, and next thing I know she’s commenting on my videos to get my attention and sliding into my DM on Insta.
“I was like ‘yooo she’s pretty cute, tea.’ So we exchange numbers and schedule a meeting as soon as she gets back from literally 6,000 miles of work, and she turns out to be a pretty cool person too.
“I even get free tickets to Universal for her (because I’m such a baller). So now all she’s hearing about is Twilight, some sparrow guy, and Taylor Swift… Anyway, happy birthday, Kayla!’
