Rowdy family booted from ship after cruise turns to ‘bloodbath’
whnt ^

Posted on 02/17/2018 7:36:49 AM PST by BenLurkin

Passengers tell 9News that people were left bloodied after clashes between two groups of passengers, including members of an Australian family, who threatened to stab others and throw them overboard.

“It was a bloodbath,” a man says, adding that some passengers were afraid to leave their cabins.

A woman on vacation with her family says certain passengers “looking for trouble” were responsible for fights seen over several days. When her husband told them to take the violence away from their kids, “five of them surrounded” him and “told us to watch our backs,” she tells 3AW. They punched and kicked another man apparently because he made eye contact with one of the group, a woman says, per the Age.

Interesting to see that some of the crew members were more interested in stopping someone from filming a fight than trying to stop the fight itself.

Actually it does look like white people - the black people here are security guards.

Cutting the line at the buffet or leaving your towel on the lounge chair all day.

A bloodbath without guns.

Ban Australians.

We were on a Royal Norwegian a few years back. Watched the Captain put a guy off the boat in Costa Maya for repeated bad behavior. He went straight into the warm embrace of the Mexican legal system.

.....looks like Carnival Officers and Security personnel need a little training on what century we’re in. Duuh!....in this century, EVERYONE has a camera so when you repeatedly kick people down on the floor your employer (Carnival) doesn’t look very cool to the world at large. Thank you Utube!

Carnival once had a racial incident. Black couple playing music loud. White couple got uptight. The security head was from India. Lotta good that did. He shod been an American black. More useful.

Well, i guess one should expect that sort of thing when one selects a “Hatfield and McCoy” themed cruise ...

Can’t say for sure if that’s who started the fight since the video starts after the fighting began, but it was a white guy on the ground being restrained and kicked by security.

Interesting that some crew and security staff would kick a passenger while being held on the ground. Also note size of female security member. Have these security teams not heard of tasers? Need I ask if alcohol was involved?

“...some of the crew members were more interested in stopping someone from filming...”

If I were filming and the female staff member walked up and smacked me/my camera...I would’ve wound up in the ship’s brig for striking an officer. Same with the later officer.
