Brawls, assaults, drunken fights, boots on the grounds and fans in hands just might have Carnival Cruise Line saying, "Enough is enough!" And some Black passengers are returning the favor, cancelling their existing reservations or cancelling the cruise line all together because they deem their new rules are racist. But some argue, "Are the new policies racist, or just restrictive?"
The discourse began after Carnival — who has the most allegations of serious crimes committed at sea than any other cruise line sailing from North America, per the FBI — implemented new rules. According to reports, as of June 1, Carnival passengers received a new letter to reinforce their guidelines and code of conduct.

I already had to pry him off the jib.
Black are the most religious race out there. Asians are the least. Somehow I don’t think they have these problems with their Asian passengers.
Like Charlie Murphy said: “They be gettin mad niggerish.”
That K-Y jelly sure comes in handy! 🛥️🕺
In the United States, the Black or African American population is estimated to be 15.2%
In 2023, nearly 17 million people from the United States went on cruises.
AI Overview
Based on the available information, it's difficult to provide a specific, up-to-date total number of Black or African Americans in the U.S. who go on cruise ships. However, some sources offer relevant insights:
Percent of Cruisers: A 2017 Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) report indicates that African Americans represent 11% of cruisers. Survey Data: A 2007 report mentions that only 5% of survey respondents were African-American.
Lack of Specific Data: As of February 2023, there's a recognized gap in specific data on Black people cruising, including details about their travel destinations and spending habits.
5-11% Black or African American cruse goers.
The available search results provide general information about crimes reported on cruise ships in the US, including the total number of incidents and types of crimes. Some information is also provided about crimes committed by employees. However, none of the search results contain data broken down by the race of cruise ship passengers who have committed crimes or been arrested. Therefore, the total number of Black or African Americans in the US who have committed crimes or been arrested on cruise ships cannot be provided.
Summary of available information:
General Crime Statistics: The Department of Transportation and the FBI have released data on reported crimes on cruise ships.
Examples of Crimes Reported: The reported incidents include sexual assaults, assaults with serious bodily injury, and theft.
FBI Case Data (2002-2007): Between 2002 and 2007, the FBI opened 184 cases of crimes on cruise ships. In 46% of these cases, the suspect was an employee. 5-5.7% Black or African American staff members on Carnival cruise ships.
Missing information:
Data specifically on the race or ethnicity of cruise ship passengers who have committed crimes or been arrested.
The provided FBI tables seem to relate to general crime statistics within the US rather than specifically on cruise ships.
AI Overview
There's limited specific data available regarding the precise number of Black or African American staff members on Carnival cruise ships. However, some insights can be gleaned from the available search results:
Older Data: A 2007 CLIA source book indicated that only 5% of survey respondents were African American, but this figure does not specifically address crew members and their race.
Industry-wide Hospitality Context: A 2021 article about Black executives in the cruise industry notes that within the hospitality industry, one in 5.7 industry employees was Black, but this figure was significantly lower for higher-level executives within the industry.
Focus on Welcoming Black Guests and Staff: Carnival is described as doing a good job of catering to and welcoming Black cruisers and employs Black comedians, musicians, and entertainers.
General Observations: Discussions on online forums suggest a perception that Carnival has a diverse crowd and staff compared to some other cruise lines.
In summary, while definitive numbers are unavailable in the provided search results, there are indications of Black individuals being present on Carnival ships both as guests and staff. However, the exact proportion of Black or African American staff members is not specified.

Looks like some strange line dance - with fans instead of cowboy hats.
“There was an article on the FR some time back about hotels in Africa that won’t accept American blacks as guests. Apparently the reputation gets around.”
A Nigerian (immigrant) friend of mine made a similar mistake. He then went home and brought back a decent wife.
Here's John Adams laying it out: "Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
A nation inhabited by huge numbers of folks addicted to porn, prescription and illicit drugs, junk food, smart phones and a-social media, a people who are grossly overweight, dress like undignified clowns and idiots, worship illiterate, feral Black thugs; a people who cover themselves in tatts and piercings and dye their hair blue, purple and red; a people who largely sit back while men dressed as women groom their children in libraries and a people who murder ~500,000 babies every year aren't exactly a "moral and religious people."
The Trump years are a temporary slowdown in America's continuing slide towards disaster and self- destruction.
I wish my take was bullsh*t, but every societal indicator hints that it's not.
There's too much societal dysfunction to undo to "right the ship," and attempts to do so would be met with howling pushback by the sickeningly narcissistic, up and coming "Do What Thou Wilt," "It's All About Me!" generation. Moving such folks away from their disgusting, selfish, self-indulgent mentalities would be impossible unless a massive, widespread, smartphone-destroying, poverty and starvation-inducing calamity struck the US.
