Carnival Cruise Line has banned 16 people after a massive fight broke out among passengers as they waited in a customs line in Florida.
Dramatic footage captured the moment a group of unruly individuals charged at each other at around 8am on Monday after the Carnival Conquest ship docked at Port Miami following a trip to the Bahamas.
Two unidentified women kicked off the brawl as one of them, dressed in a black strapless dress, ducked under a line divider and started swinging at a woman in polka dot pajamas.
Another woman, who donned a yellow and white maxi-dress, then jumped into the scuffle and grabbed on to the other's hair.
The two of them went back and forth for minutes, tightly gripping each other's hair as they tried to stay grounded with their bare feet on the floor.
Several men and women joined the melee as US Customs and Border Protection officers attempted to break up the mayhem.
Suitcases and personal belongings were thrown around during the chaotic scene.
At one point, a man was seen holding a stanchion over his head as people screamed.
After a couple of minutes the fight was broken up and people were seen trying to carry on with their day.
It remains unclear what sparked the fracas, but the violent disagreement was between two families, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) told the Daily Mail.
No one was arrested after neither of the parties decided to press charges against the other, cops said.
As a result of the brawl 16 people have been placed on Carnival Cruise Lines' 'Do Not Sail List', a company spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

Great scene of the “dangerously unbalanced woman” trying to get into the dining room....
What’s Up, Doc.

Ever been to a Wal Mart?
We took a Celebrity cruise last year out of Port Canaveral, and the terminal was filled with a lot of “them.” We breathed a huge sigh of relief when almost all of them got on a Carnival ship that was boarding at the same time. Whew.
A ghettopotamus is always a woman so if it's a single woman shouldn't it be ghettopotama? And a group of them should be plural, ghettopotamae?
What is now called ‘ruthless’ used to be called ‘standard business practice.’
Carnival has a big problem. During the covid hysteria, they lowered their rates to attract customers.
Now they have become the greyhound of the seas and normal people will avoid Carnival.
Feisty and unruly INDIVIDUALS. Yeah, right. Right there you suspect we’re not talking honkies here. Were it honkies they’d be free to use more properly descriptive language.
“I wonder where Ruth is tonight?”
Love the heel marks on the floor as they’re dragging her out ...
Knock off the racist crap.
Was someone disrespected? The article is lacking in crucial information.
Yeah, a little rusty on my tenses. 😀

He’s not wrong.
Good thing they didn’t have their 9mm’s with them.
Feisty but mostly peaceful
You can bet there was some dissing goin on.
Shameful. Simply shameful.
When Jesse Jackson admitted he would be fearful if he saw black men walking towards him on the street, does that mean he would have also been fearful getting on a cruise line that had crowds of black people lined up to get on it?
Would he still be honest answering that question today?
Shameful. But it appears these groups are beyond shame.
I remember that movie.
Yes. One of the many subtle touches in that great movie.
Elevator background music is always a Cole Porter melody.
“Anything Goes” is one.
