[WATCH]: Dozens of Drunken Cruise-Goers Break into Dramatic Brawl
American Tribune ^ | April 29, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 04/29/2025 9:47:37 AM PDT by Red Badger

In a dramatic video posted to Facebook, dozens of cruise-goers erupted in a brawl that went viral on social media. In the cinematic clip, passengers can be seen fistfighting and throwing luggage as others desperately attempt to escape the chaos.

For context, cruise ship brawls have become a common sight as lines slash prices and offer large quantities of alcohol to attract patrons. Often, these unruly passengers are banned from subsequent cruises due to their poor behavior.

In any case, the dramatic incident was posted to Facebook on April 26, 2025. Trelle Ray, who captured the disgraceful brawl, added her commentary in the caption to her post. She laconically said, “It went down this morning ‼️ #CarnivalJubilee #carnivalcruise”

The New York Post picked up the story and wrote an article about the drunken dispute, which provided additional context. According to a Carnival Cruise spokesperson, “The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.”

The spokesperson explained the company’s policies towards unruly passengers and said this behavior is unacceptable. Their statement continued, “The matter was turned over to law enforcement. We will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list.”

According to the same article, the violence erupted among Carnival Cruise ship passengers in Texas. Consequently, more than a dozen people were banned from the cruise liner for life. The pugilists had just docked in Galveston following a week-long Caribbean cruise when the brawl broke out.

After the same clip was posted to X, users blasted the passengers for their shockingly bad behavior. One comment noted, “Imagine saving up for your dream cruise and then walking in to the terminal and seeing this.” One of the respondents joked, “Funny, Carnival is on my “do not sail” list.”

Reacting to the disaster, one comment advocated for harsher punishments for the unruly cruise passengers. The reply read, “[We need something] similar to a no-fly list. Create a no-public interstate travel list that disallows anyone to access planes, trains, or boats that get funds from the government if they cause any sort of incident or need to be forcibly removed from public transportation. Tie it to their passport.”

Offering their personal cruising experience, one user noted a decline in the quality of passengers. The reply read, “We have cruised extensively. By far, our family’s only negative experience was on the Carnival line—the crowds were very young, rowdy, and seemed to travel in very large groups of frenemies. Add alcohol + closed quarters, and everyone’s experience is ruined.”

Roundin’ out the comments, many social media users said that Carnival Cruises brought this behavior on themselves by catering to low-income customers. One of the many replies noted, “Carnival is known as the party cruise. I’ve been on many cruises, but I refuse to go on Carnival.” Another replied in a similar vein, saying, “I went on one carnival cruise in my life. I will never go again. Low-cost cruise equals low-cost people.”

Yeh. I didn’t see too many tuxedos, but it was probably just the camera angle.

On a similar subject my wife left the brochure for one of those European river cruise companies on the kitchen table recently.

I leafed through it briefly and told her we are only 61 & 62. We are not OLD enough for these.

Seeing that it was technically at the debarkation point, I’m just guessing, but I would assume that someone broke in line to get checked out by Customs................

I believe it was a rekindling of a brawl over crab legs at a buffet during the cruise.

The river cruises are amazing, Only 145 passengers, no kids, no pool, no casino, and great food. Throw in a different city every day, and only unpacking once.

Docked at the terminal in Galveston, Texas after a week long cruise. Waiting on their luggage. I guess some people broke in line. Tired and grumpy, seeing people jump in front of you to grab their stuff was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Hmmmmm. Not melanin-challenged hominids involved?

Tribal behavior?
Zero impulse control?
Stupid as crap with avg IQ of 85?
Extremely violent behavior?

Yes, I don’t even have to look. It’s them again.

Over the last year I have seen at least a dozen different videos of these cruise brawls. The participants always have one thing in common. Right Yogi?

I would never go on a cruise ship. I’d rent a sailboat.
I’m a very well experienced sailor that owned a 45 foot sailboat for years.
Another thing I WON’T do is go to anyplace with a large number of American blacks. I lived for many years just across the river from Compton Calif. I know what can happen.
I’d rather live ( and actually did) live in a neighborhood of mostly illegals.
They loved God and had strong family bonds. even though they didn’t like to speak “Englis”
Thanks to LBJ in his quest for the forever Black vote,
he destroyed black family and made them what they are today.
Nobody outside America wants or likes them!

“Name That Tune” is a popular game where players try to identify songs based on short audio clips or clues. It can be played in various formats, from simple humming or singing to more structured competitions with clues and bidding.

“Name That Race”: I buzzed in by “drunken cruise-goers”
We’re way past racism, this is racial realism.

I agree. They do look nice. They also seem to get very good reviews.

Its is just that everyone looks 70+. Maybe in a few more years...
