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.

The one on the right is not a bad lager but the one on the left is my "Afternoon Sipping Ale". First rate flavor. Two for $3.50 at my local Smiths/Krogers.
We started cruising in the ‘90s (took four with different lines just to try ‘em all out).
First one we took was Carnival, which others advised us not to as they were “rowdy”. We went anyway and had a great time as the younger crowd (we were in our 50s then) were a joy to be around. They weren’r rowdy, just young. The other three trips all had “old” geezers and while nice, were fairly dull.
Was alcohol involved? AKA demon rum. Drugs too?
People were filming anymore like the food stores are kept in ice boxes.
