A massive brawl following a Carnival cruise has resulted in two dozen passengers being put on their 'Do Not Sail' list.
The incident occurred inside a cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas on Saturday, April 26, according to USA Today. Passengers had just disembarked a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Jubilee when the fight broke out.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Carnival confirmed that 24 passengers were banned from the cruise line as a result of the violent altercation.
'The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. The matter was turned over to law enforcement,' the statement reads. 'We will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list.'

Footage of the brawl shared by Facebook user Trelle Ray shows a group of rowdy passengers crowded around in what appears to be a baggage claim area. Dozens of suitcases can be seen in the background as several passengers seemingly begin to chase another passenger to a different area.
The crowd breaks through barriers and knocks down signs during the chase before tackling a passenger to the ground. They appear to start punching and kicking the person on the ground as another person rushes to get out of the way.
Security guards then approach the crowd to break up the fight, however the brawl continues even after they arrive. Fellow travelers can be seen watching in shock in the background, while some even film the altercation.
'It went down this morning,' the user captioned their post, followed by a double red exclamation point emoji.

This is not the first time a huge brawl has broken out on a Carnival cruise ship.
In June 2022, a massive fight erupted on the dance floor at a nightclub on the Carnival Magic when it was sailing near the Verrazano Bridge in New York. There were reportedly 40 to 60 people involved in the incident.
The NYPD told PEOPLE at the time that the Coast Guard escorted the cruise ship to Pier 88 and the ship 'disembarked passengers without further incident."

Is Carnival's Big Growth Spurt Over?
Carnival's cruise business was shut down during the coronavirus pandemic. It has experienced strong growth since the world got used to living with COVID-19. Carnival expects to have another good year in 2025, but next year's comparisons might be less impressive. 10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. › Carnival (NYSE: CCL) went from a full stop to full speed ahead, and the result was, as you might expect, a dramatic improvement in its business performance. But what happens now that the cruise line is at the top of its game? Here's what's happened and why 2026 could be a much less impressive year for Carnival. Carnival operates nine branded cruise lines, including its namesake brand. It is one of the largest cruise ship owners and operators on the planet. Cruise lines have two main sources of revenue. The first is the fares passengers pay to get on the boat. The second is the spending they do while on the ship. The cruise ships Carnival operates are like floating resorts. You pay for a room, and then you pay for all the other stuff you want to do. Some food and entertainment are included in the cruise cost, but plenty of add-ons are available. That said, Carnival doesn't see a dime of income if its ships aren't running. And that's exactly what happened during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Cruise ship passengers are always at some risk of catching contagious diseases, but the risks presented by COVID-19 were so extreme that governments shut down the industry. The last few years have seen impressive business performance from Carnival because of that shutdown. The chart above shows the trailing-12-month revenues and earnings per share for Carnival. It tells the story pretty clearly. Revenues fell to zero and then recovered. Earnings fell deep into the red and then recovered. In fact, the inflation coming out of the pandemic has actually helped out here because the cost of other vacations, such as trips to amusement parks, have increased to the point where cruises look like a relative bargain. At this point, Carnival's 2025 cruises are fairly well booked, so this should be another decent year. But two problems are likely to start showing up more clearly in 2026. First, the rebound from zero revenue seems to have largely played out. Further improvement will require continued strong execution. For example, revenue rose to a record level in the first quarter of 2025. But the year-over-year rise was dramatically smaller than in the first quarter of 2024. The boom years are likely over, and continuing to move the needle will be much harder from here. Second, Carnival added a significant number of new ships leading up to 2024. More ships mean more ability to increase revenue. And new ships often bring renewed interest from customers, too. Between 2025 and 2028, there won't be nearly as many new ships, so this growth lever won't be as powerful. Price increases (for both the cruise and onboard spending) will still improve the top line of the income statement, but they may keep some customers away. There is a silver lining in all of this, however. Carnival took on debt after the pandemic. Buying ships is costly, and so is paying to maintain a business that isn't generating any revenue. The pullback on new ships will allow the company to more quickly reduce its leverage. That is a good thing, and falling interest costs should help the company's bottom line. That said, Carnival's top line in 2026 could be far less exciting than it has been recently. And emotional investors may see that as a big negative, even as Carnival works to improve its balance sheet. If you own Carnival or are looking at the stock, remember that the growth coming out of the pandemic was an anomaly.
