An all-inclusive trip on a brand new cruise show. Please enjoy The AEDES

The following audio you're about to hear was recovered from a Sony EVZ1 camera The video was unsalvageable Story to follow Is up, Cam Fam, this is day one of my cruise blog series I wanted to thank my sponsor for the series

Influencer Cruises Influencer Cruises is a new cruise line where you get to live like an influencer There are so many of you say to me, Cameron, I wish I could have your life. And guess what? Now you can. For six nights and seven days anyway. And here she is.

We are walking up the ramp to the ship, the A80s. This is a brand new ship, and you guys, like, all of it is top of the line. And I am so excited to bring you along with me. Oh my God! As you can see, as soon as you step on, there are several adorable photo ops. available, perfect for the influencer five. I can already see my girl Gemma. Gemma from Gemma's travels up there, getting the party started.

Hey girl, girl, how do you already have a drink? We're passing them out of there. Ah, okay, let's go grab a drink. Okay, so the waiter said this is called a like and subscribe. Isn't that so cute? It's coconut rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice with blue luster. See how sparkly it is? Oh my god and it's all like a slushy on top. Ah, this is so great Okay, I've also been informed that they are passing out hors d'oeuvres and apps on the pool deck

So let's drop our stuff and we'll do a room tour later. Don't worry of course I'm going to do a room tour and we can join the send-off party Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm doing a video just do like like we're gonna do like five seconds of like cute posing It's gonna be an insert shot and I can use it on Insta. Like, I'm going to stitch together a bunch of them with whoever I run into. Yeah, it's going to be so cute, right? Yeah, it's super cute.

I've done it before. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm filming, but you guys can talk. No, I'm going to do it voiceover. I'm just getting a shot of all of our food. Is it just me, or are these drinks literally so gross? If this shit wasn't free, I'd be so pissed. I literally took a sip of that blue one

and just left it sitting somewhere. Yeah. No, I didn't even try the pink one. I'm just using it for the shot. It goes cute with the flower on my plate. Okay. Okay, cool. Think.

Yeah, yeah, you got, go ahead, you guys. No, I'm not going to be able. Oh, no, I'm going to go. Time for a room tour. Hey, babe. Yeah, no. We haven't shipped off yet, so I still have signal. No, I miss you too so much.

I wish you could have come. you could have come. No, I'm not, I'm not trying to guilt you. I know you have to work. I, I just miss you. Yeah. It's okay. The food is, me.

Oh my God, the drinks are awful, and I just, I don't trust the water. Like, I was thinking about it, and I just don't want to get sick. Yeah, you hear all this awful shit about, like cruises and, like, where are they even getting the water from? What if it's, like, foreign water? You know what they say about...

No, I know we boarded in America, but, like, the boat came from somewhere else. Yeah, you get it. Like, I'm just, look, I'm just sticking to bottled. They carry Perrier, so I'm good. Um, Taylor, Gemma, Tyler, Tyler. Ariana. Oh, and oh my God, ew. I forgot to tell you. Kyle and Ricky. Yeah, you know those twins? They do like the pranks? Yeah, yeah, they're here. Can you believe that? No, I'm staying away from them. I refuse to be in a fucking prank video. I'm honestly kind of pissed they're here. I think I might complain. I don't know. Like, who is this fucking marketing person who would invite someone who's just going to make your other guests uncomfortable? No, like, it couldn't hurt. I mean, I know, yeah, they sponsor the video, but, like, I'm not going to do it on camera.

I'm just going to say something. I'm just going to email them, like, once I get the Wi-Fi set up and stuff. Yeah, like, I don't know. Just, no, last time they, like, threw pudding on a girl, I am not going to do that. Oh, oh, my God. I also heard that Jessica is here. Jessica S. No, I, I know I don't, I know I don't have to whisper.

I just, I'm in my room, I just, you know, ears are everywhere. Anyway, like, there's a balcony and, like, what if we share a balcony? Like, Jessica S, the one who got canceled for... Yes, that one. It's only been, like, four months since her apology video. No, I wouldn't be showing my face, but I guess she needs content. I mean, I heard she lost, like, half a million followers after that. So she's probably scrambling for views.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, go get some rest. I'll try to call you when I get Wi-Fi set up. Or, oh, yeah, I know you'll be busy, but, like, you know, we can talk. Sometimes, like, I'd like to say goodnight to you if I can. Okay, I'm going to go do this room tour. Yeah, I have to be at the club at this, at 10, at this thing.

Love you. Love you. So, okay, so I am staying in the iconic suite, right? Yes, the iconic suite, the names, I'm telling you, as soon as you step on board, you are going to feel just like an influencer, like, this is my every day, and even I feel special. So as you walk in, let's go. Okay, I'm going to start from the outside, and we're going to walk in. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah.

So you walk in, isn't the door pretty? Like, the way they decorated the ship, everything is so cute. Like, the details, the details. Like, I just feel like a celebrity or something. I mean, I guess I like kind of real. But, like, you know, like a real one, like a big one. I don't know. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

So I'm still just like you guys. Okay, I just, I mean, I know I have like all my, my camp fam, but I am still just as excited and just sits down to earth as you guys. Okay, okay. And enough of that. So we see the door, we see the door. Okay. Walking in, walking in.

And to our right. Check out this bathroom, y'all. Christ, again? Hi. Miss Dupley, we were so sorry to hear about just the satisfaction with the beverages on board. We want to offer you this complementary flight of cocktails, smoothies, and fountain drinks, so that perhaps you can fight something to your liking to enjoy for the rest of your stay. Uh, uh, thank you.

No, thank you. I'm really trying to cut back on sugar. This is so much. This is a whole cart. I'm actually in the middle of a video, and that's kind of the thing, like you guys wanted me to take videos, so I'm in the middle of a video,

and I'm just going to stick to water. Thanks. Perfect. We brought a pidgeel of ice water to cleanse your ballad in between your beerful-eged tasting menu. We will leave it inside for you. Um, No, thank you.

Like I said, I'm in the middle of a video. We can do this. Maybe just pass it out next door. I bet they would love it. It's really great. But no, thank you. Okay? We insist, Missed, Missy, please.

My men will go inside now. No. No, no, no, please don't come inside. Please don't come inside. I... Please don't... Okay, I guess set them on the... table yeah sure hey this isn't this kind of feels a little violating I don't

really want all this and look I you know what can I speak to someone can I speak to a manager or something I'm I just boarded and I feel like I'm already having a lot of issues and I'm not feeling very like influencer or feeling very much like influencing if you get my drift like I can totally say this I did not promise to give a glowing review and this part can go you just barged into my room and just a bunch of drinks here like a cart full of fucking drinks like what is going on excuse me hello are you just are okay you're ignoring me now you could you you knew how to speak a little

earlier you have a French accent is it because I don't know French like what is what is happening? Hello? The fuck just happened Hey do I'm on my way to the help center one of them left. I hit record again on this fucking camera. Hi. Yeah. I'd like to file a complaint. Well, I have several, but I have a whole cart of drinks in my room that I did not order.

I don't care that they were complimentary. I'm being paid to be here. Everything is complimentary. I'm Cameron Dupree. Cameron Dupree. I have six million viewers and I can make or break an entire fucking company with one video. I am being calm and I would like the drinks removed. Yes, I would like the drinks removed.

I would like the staffer who delivered the drinks, some French person, to never come to my suite again. In fact, I'd like to file an official harassment complaint. Despite me telling them not to come into my room, They pushed past me with two other workers who were pushing the cart. I'm a woman, alone, on a fucking cruise ship. Would that make you feel safe? You're a woman. Would you feel safe in that situation?

I'm filming this, by the way. Yeah, I'm filming in case it needed for my lawyers when we get back. This is fucking ridiculous. Can you fucking believe this? Like, let me speak to your supervisor. This is absolutely ludicrous and I will have your job and Frenchie's job as soon as the fucking boat dock. I cannot believe. I cannot believe.

No, I have to do a voiceover too. It's so fucking loud. But I have to get this club stuck. My contract said they wanted me to focus on the party vibe or whatever. Yours it too? Yeah. Oh my god. Did you fucking see what she was wearing? Hey, Gemma.

Look, this didn't think she was. This didn't think her mean, but... Some people think your accent is fake. You're being a bitch, Cameron. No, I'm not being a beach. I heard it from someone else. They said you were born in England, but last when you were like six months old, and that your parents are American, and that's why you never show them on your channel. Fuck you, I'm just repeating what I heard!

Are you recording this? No, I'm not recording. Oh, shit. Dude, this new camera, I keep fucking doing that. Sorry. Jenna! Oh my! Oh, my God. Don't stop. I'm not going to use it, Gemma. Come on. Hey, Cam, fam. Come with me to breakfast on our first full day on the ship. We are officially out to see nothing but blue surrounding us.

I spent the morning doing yoga on my private balcony, and now I'm off to meet some friends for breakfast at one of these six on-board restaurants. This morning we've chosen, well, the breakfast bar where they serve breakfast, morning, noon, and night. So that means after dancing your booty off at Club Onyx, you can come have some late night pancakes. This hallway is so empty. Looks like I'm the late riser who's late to breakfast, so I better hurry up before they get started without me. All right, Future Cam, roll that breakfast B-roll. Editing note, um, Jordan, just place all the breakfast footage in here, and I'll send you a voiceover. Sorry, this is just so much VO. You have to layer. This This fucking boat is just too loud and crowded.

You make a bitch, Congress. No, thank you. I don't want any ice water. I would just like a bottle of pierrier or any sort of bottled water. No ice water. Do you hear me? I don't want ice water. I want bottled water.

Hey, Cam Fam. This is such a hard video to make, but, um, you know I need to give you my honest opinion. Sponsored video or not. I... I've always promised to do to tell you the truth, and I am going to tell you the truth, this cruise, to be honest, has been nothing but issues, and let me just tell you what's happened so far. So we're headed into day three tomorrow, and we're supposed to be stopping on the island on day

four, and I just may stay on there and find a different way back to Florida, because this is just not, this is not what I was expecting at all. First of all, so I'm here the first day and Jordan, my editor will insert the footage right after this, but I just wanted to give some contacts before we put this in. So I was trying to give you guys a room tour, which I haven't even done yet. I haven't even done a room tour. I'm so sorry, but this is just, I was trying to do a room tour, and I get a knock on my door, and there's this member of the cruise staff standing there with two men.

who are pushing this huge cart full of drinks. Just a crazy amount of drinks. It was like cokes and smoothies and cocktails and just every fucking drink you could think of. And he's just like, oh, I did not hear. I heard that you had bad experience without cocktails or something like that, apparently, which is even creepier because I, look, again, I am so sorry, but in confidence I told my friends that the cocktails on here are just, not what I was expecting. They're sugary. They're gross. I just didn't like them, okay?

So again, quietly to my friends, I tell them, I'm just not into the drinks. That's fine. I'm going to drink bottled water. As you guys know, I have been trying to cut back on sugar and alcohol anyway, so I was like, that's fine. I'm going to drink bottled water. I don't really, I'm not really into like the ice water because I don't really know where the water comes from and like you guys can make fun of me, but like, I don't know. I just kind of got like in the moment into my head and I just didn't know where the water came from. So I decided I was just going to drink bottle water. And so this guy just shows up. He just shows up with all these drinks. And I'm like, hey, hey, like, no, I don't want these drinks. I don't want these complimentary

drinks. I don't care. And they push past me into my room and drop up all these fucking drinks into my room. I don't know what to do. So, so I go, I go to customer service and I'm like, hey, I'd like to file a complaint for harassment. Okay, Jordan, can you put in the footage right here of the interaction? And then I will come back and tell you how my customer service went. Okay, Here, right here, Jordan. Oh, those fuck, you guys, we're gone. Okay, so you've seen it now, and I go to customer service, and I film that too, but I'm not going to play that because I'm going to save that for my lawyers, because I'm definitely going to be contacting my lawyers, and I tell them I want to file a complaint. I want to file a complaint about this behavior.

I mean, come on, this was just ridiculous to force their way into my room. And so I filed the complaint, but then they don't let me file the complaint. Do you know what I'm saying? I go to file the complaint, and they just don't let it. me. They just say that everything is fine and everything's fine and there was nothing that was done wrong and it was just they were just trying to give me complimentary drinks because they knew I wasn't happy with their service, which was again, again, how did they know that? Are there cameras everywhere? How were they listening to my conversations, my private conversations with my friends? Okay, so then, so then,

okay, I go to breakfast this morning and three of my friends, well, I mean, well, friends is kind of a strong word, but, like, three of my acquaintances from, you know, from the internet and around, and, like, I've seen them around, they have nosebleeds this morning at breakfast. Like, like, insane nosebleeds. Like, they were disgusting. And it was, like, not just, like, little bits of blood running out of the nose, because I don't know, sea sickness, I don't know. They were, like, chunks. Like, chunks. blood? It was like, it was like just like goopy and chunky and it was coming out of their nose. My friend Ariana, we were sitting there at breakfast and her fucking nose just starts exploding with these like, I don't even know, it was just these globules, these round globules. I guess they were

like blood clots. I don't know what they were. So I leave breakfast and I'm just like, I didn't even film anything. I didn't even film much about breakfast. So I just come to my room and I'm like, you know what, it's fine. It's fine. You know, there, I don't know. cruise sick or something. And so I come to my room. I put out my bathing suit. Oh my God, you guys, I got the cutest suit. I got several.

I have like 12 that I got. And I'm just like, I haven't even shown any of them off. So I could put on one of my suits. I go to the pool and I'm like, I'm going to show off the pool, right? Because you guys want to see the pool? And so I'm going to show off the pool. And I'm just laying there. And there's just like, they just keep coming up to me with ice water.

They keep coming up to me with these pictures of fucking ice water. And they're like, ma'am, you need to drink. ice water. It's like they're coming at me left and right. Every, I am not kidding you, every minute and half. Please, ma'am, drink ice water. It's for your safety. You need to stay hydrated. Again, I'm asking them for bottled water, and they are refusing. They're just refusing. I'm telling them no, I would only drink Perrier, and then, of course, they say no, like, look, look, look, okay, maybe the pool bar didn't carry Perrier. That's fine. I was like, any bottled water, any bottled water, I'll take any bottled water, and they're saying no. They're insisting I drink this fucking ice water. And like, I'm just not going to

to do that and like I just don't know hold on did you do that my god someone's at the door it's jemma hold on uh hold on camp ma I'll just I'm gonna leave this running um Jordan or lawyers or anyone I I um I don't know what the we're in international waters that means I can film people right without their consent I just feel like this is this is going to be really important okay I'm gonna leave you running okay I'll be right back oh my fucking God you guys what is happening what is Where's wrong with your faces? Tyler and I both got the same nosebleed as Ariana got. The Klingon board is over over people.

They just turned us away, but look at Tyler. He can barely talk. My throat. It's covered in swords. Cameron, you have to help us. You're the only one who isn't walking around the ship covered in blood. This has to be a set-up like that show. That the Americans...

This could all be the Russians. What's out there? Out there. How everyone is fucking round like, like Sylvie's. Oh my god, Tyler! You ride it is all like the fucking dead. This blood, all of the decks. The people passed out.

Okay. I'm gonna, I'm gonna look. Jam. The fuck, oh my fucking God, what are those? Hi, Kim. Hi. Tyler and Gemma came to my room. They had the same thing that Ariana had.

The bleeding, the bleeding from the nose. But Tyler, Tyler. Tyler, Tyler had like the... I don't know what happened. And then Gemma, Gemma was running with me. But then her eyes. Gemma's eyes. They just...

I'm here, and I don't know what's happening, and I can hear this buzzing outside. And I passed some people, and they were all passed down to the hallway, and all their fucking eyes were gone. They're all covered in these worms. These worms, I don't know what they are. They're all covered in these worms.

I don't know what the fuck is going on. Perrier, I'm going to sue this fucking billionaire after this is done. I'm going out there. Do you promise it's okay? Get off the ship, okay? I just, do you promise help is coming? I just want to drink the water. I'm okay. I didn't drink the water. Please, please. Don't, don't hurt me or anything. I didn't drink the water. I didn't. Nothing's going to happen to me because I didn't drink. What do you mean? Your babies. Your babies need food? I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. Population. YouTuber and influencer Cameron Dupree's camera was found in a maintenance closet aboard the cruise ship,

the Aedes. The ship had been missing for several months until found drifting in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Mississippi. When towed into dock, the ship was searched, but not a single crew member or passenger was found. There's no information on what happened to Cameron after the events of the tape, which continued to run for an additional hour after she left it behind. Authorities say there is no connection, but we believe it's important to note the sudden rise in mysterious illnesses and missing persons in Biloxi and the surrounding areas since the discovery of the ship. There has been no word from influencer cruise lines or the U.S. government on what is believed to be behind the sudden disappearance of 2,500 cruise ship passengers and staff.
