Wed Apr 30 10:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Mass Brawl Leads to Cruise Line Ban for Nearly 30 Passengers
**Galveston, TX** – A massive brawl involving nearly 30 passengers erupted during the disembarkation of the Carnival Jubilee cruise ship in Galveston, Texas, on April 26th. Video footage circulating on social media shows passengers shoving past security barriers, pushing at least one person to the ground, and engaging in physical altercations. Security personnel attempted to intervene, but the fight continued.
Carnival Cruise Line confirmed the incident, stating it occurred in an area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The cruise line has banned 24 individuals involved in the fight from future sailings, adding them to their “Do Not Sail” list. An additional five individuals are being investigated.
The Port of Galveston Police Department responded to the altercation at Cruise Terminal 25, resulting in several individuals being detained by CBP. Port police arrested one individual, though the specific charge remains undisclosed. CBP has yet to comment publicly on the incident. The cause of the fight remains unclear.
This incident follows a similar large-scale brawl on a Carnival Paradise cruise ship in June 2024, further highlighting concerns about passenger behavior at sea. Carnival Cruise Line emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for such disruptive actions.
