Model and influencer Marie Temara gave fans a hilarious and candid glimpse into what life is like as a 6ft 3in woman on a cruise ship from endless buffet runs to getting clocked in the head by low-hanging signs.
The Florida-based content creator, who boasts 2.8 million Instagram followers (@marietemara) and earns millions thanks to her statuesque frame, recently went viral after sharing a day-in-the-life vlog that’s racked up 2.4 million views.
In the video, Marie documented a full day of eating and exploring onboard, starting with a loaded double breakfast of bacon, waffles, eggs, and bread.
But her cruise adventure quickly turned slapstick when she smacked her head on an emergency exit sign thanks to her height all while strutting around in heels. “I got a concussion so I was a little sad,” she joked, “but then I got Mexican food and now I feel a lot better.”

Marie didn’t hold back at the buffet either. She indulged in pasta, salad, ramen, fried chicken, crawfish gumbo, shrimp po’boys, fries, and multiple desserts including maple bacon, deep-fried Oreos, and ice cream. She even squeezed in an arcade session where she proudly claimed the high score before returning for more food.
“Y’all know I weigh over 200lbs so I’m always eating,” she said, laughing as she documented her second lunch of the day, followed by a seafood-heavy dinner and a sunset snack session that included eight slices of pizza. “I had to change outfits because my shorts were getting tight,” she added.
Despite her size making tight corridors and low ceilings a challenge, Marie powered through the day with humor and massive portions. Fans were equal parts shocked and entertained by the sheer volume of food she consumed.
All that food could last me three to five days,” one viewer joked. “Yes yes, you eat more than me,” another added.
While most passengers are worried about sunburn or sea legs, Marie’s main obstacle was head clearance but she handled it with her usual charm, appetite, and a plate (or three) in hand.
