Cruise Holidays: Meet the Unlikely Star of the Seas
Cruise holidays are known for their diverse mix of travellers. However, a recent Royal Caribbean cruise had an unexpected celebrity onboard. A tiny teacup chihuahua named Blondie stole the spotlight on the Freedom of the Seas.
Blondie: The Viral Sensation
During a December 2025 cruise, Blondie became an internet sensation. Videos of the adorable dog quickly went viral on social media. Her TikTok account, @bruiserandellewoods, references the film Legally Blonde. The account showcases Blondie’s adventures, capturing the hearts of many.
Onboard Adventures
Blondie boarded the ship at PortMiami on 4th December 2025. The Freedom-class ship was setting sail for a four-night Caribbean cruise. From the moment she stepped onboard, Blondie attracted attention. Passengers and crew were charmed by her presence.
A New Kind of Entertainment
Despite the ship’s entertainment offerings, Blondie became the main attraction. Guests were more interested in meeting the tiny dog than attending shows. Her calm nature and gentle temperament made her a beloved figure on the ship.
Winning Hearts at Sea
One TikTok video, viewed over 300,000 times, shows Blondie snuggling with passengers. Her owner noted she became the ship’s emotional support animal. Crew members also enjoyed her company, often stopping to greet her with smiles.
Service Dog at Sea
Blondie’s presence on the cruise was not by chance. She is a trained service dog, allowed onboard under Royal Caribbean’s policy. Most dogs are not permitted, but service dogs like Blondie are exceptions. Her owner ensured all necessary approvals were in place before sailing.
Royal Caribbean’s Service Animal Policy
Royal Caribbean welcomes service dogs on all ships. However, pets are not allowed. A service dog is defined as one trained to assist a person with a disability. Guests must submit documentation 60 days before sailing, including medical notes and vaccination records.
Blondie’s journey on the Freedom of the Seas was a unique experience. Her presence brought joy to many, proving that even the smallest travellers can make a big impact.
