Wed Apr 30 10:00:00 UTC 2025: **Massive Cruise Ship Brawl Leads to 24 Passengers Banned for Life**
GALVESTON, TX – A massive brawl involving dozens of passengers erupted in a Galveston cruise terminal on Saturday, April 26th, resulting in 24 individuals being banned from all future Carnival cruises. The fight broke out after passengers disembarked the Carnival Jubilee following a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise.
Video footage shows a chaotic scene in the baggage claim area, with passengers chasing and violently attacking another individual. Security guards attempted to intervene, but the altercation continued.
Carnival confirmed the incident, stating that it occurred in an area under U.S. Customs and Border Patrol authority and was subsequently handed over to law enforcement. A spokesperson emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable and that the 24 involved passengers have been added to the cruise line’s “Do Not Sail” list.
This is not the first large-scale fight associated with Carnival cruises. A similar incident involving 40-60 people occurred on a Carnival Magic cruise ship in June 2022. The recent incident highlights ongoing concerns about passenger conduct on cruise ships.
