Carnival Bans Cruisers Over Mass Brawl—'It Went Down'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Carnival Cruises has placed dozens of people on their 'Do Not Sail' list after a brawl broke out during a ship's disembarkment. The fight, which was captured on video by onlooker Trelle Ray on Facebook, shows several people coming to blows near the luggage and debarkation point in Galveston, Texas. It is unclear at this time what the inciting incident was for this fight, which Ray captioned as: "It went down this morning." A spokesperson for Carnival Cruises told Newsweek that the company "will not tolerate such behavior." Ray has been contacted via social media for comment. The Galveston Police Department has been contacted for comment via email. The Carnival Cruise Lines Ecstasy at the Galveston Cruise Ship Terminal Saturday, July 24, 2010, in Galveston.

This is not the ship people were aboard prior to the fight. James Nielsen/Houston Chronicle via AP Why It Matters The 24 people involved in the fight have been banned from Carnival Cruises. Since the fight occurred at a U.S. port, the brawlers have also been turned into U.S. law enforcement. What To Know Footage of the brawl shows several people chasing after one man in a white t-shirt, going from the luggage retrieval area of the debarkation point to what appears to be a hallway leading to either another room or the ship. The man periodically turns around to physically fight the group behind him, and especially another man also in a white t-shirt. This man hits the first man back. The fight then devolves into an all-out brawl with several people punching and kicking each other, though it appears as if the fight is still largely centered around the two initial men. At this point in the video, security stepped in and broke the fight up. The rest of the video shows the terminal scattered luggage across the floor and shocked passengers. This debarkation point in Texas was the last stop for the cruise, which had sailed around the Caribbean, stopping in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico, as well as Roatan Island, Honduras, according to Cruise Mapper. Customs and Border Patrol detained several individuals and charged one, per USA Today reporting. They have not declared what that charge is at this time. This is not the first time a large fight has broken out in conjunction with the cruise line. In 2024, a video of a fight onboard a Carnival Cruise ship went viral, as passengers were filmed throwing punches and chairs by the buffet. What People Are Saying Carnival Cruisestold Newsweek: "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. We will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list." What Happens Next At least one person involved in the fight is facing criminal charges. All 24 are banned from future Carnival Cruises.

The little-known punishment cruise lines can impose on passengers revealed after Carnival brawl
A vicious melee among Carnival Cruise passengers in Texas led to more than 20 people being placed on a no-sail list. Shocking footage captured the moment chaos erupted inside a Galveston boarding terminal on Saturday. An angry crowd of men and women were kicking, punching and screaming at each other as stunned witnesses tried to stay out of the way of the violent mess. People were also tackled and shoved to the ground as security guards rushed over to the mob and tried to diffuse the situation. 'It went down this morning ‼️' Trelle Ray, who shared the shocking video that garnered more than 1.2 million views, wrote on Facebook. It is unclear what sparked the mayhem among the dozens of people as they off-boarded the Carnival Jubilee boat following a Caribbean vacation. Regardless, the popular cruise line said the violence was unacceptable and has issued a harsh punishment to the people who were involved. 'We will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list,' a Carnival Cruise Line spokesperson told in an email. The punishment will not just prevent them from sailing on future Jubilee voyages - it will ban them from the entire fleet of Carnival Cruises. The brawl happened under the jurisdiction of US Customs and Border Patrol and the matter has since been turned over to local police. At least one person was arrested, but it is unclear what charges they are facing, the New York Post reported. Cruise lines have individual no-sail lists that ban vacationers from sailing with them again, unlike the No Fly List, which prevents people from boarding all commercial flights traveling to, from or within the US. More than 4,300 commenters reacted to the action-packed video, with many in disbelief at what they saw. A viewer wrote: 'It's in front of kids for me! Like be forreal !!' 'That's pathetic... I hope they all went to jail and was banned from every cruise line,' another person said. 'This is so chaotic! It's ridiculous and embarrassing,' someone added. One woman testified: 'This is sad, but not uncommon for this cruise line… I work in the travel industry...' Carnival Cruise Line has seen its fair share of unruly behavior from guests. Three years ago, an en-route ship was actually forced to turn around and dock as a result of an outrageous incident. More than 60 passengers joined in on a dancefloor pile-up that stemmed from jealousy over a threesome between passengers in June 2022. According to a witness, the partners of those in the threesome started fighting each other before the altercation spiraled out of control. Video showed dozens of passengers punching and shoving one another. Bottles were smashed and a woman was cut, although no serious injuries were reported. A witness said it started just before 2am and lasted for an hour where the ship's nightclub and casino were located. The fight then started moving around from the fifth floor to the first floor. Security guards attempted to break up the fight - but they were outnumbered. With no other choice, the Coast Guard escorted the ship to dock and the NYPD had to get involved before the boat could return to its intended path.
