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.”
***sigh***
Without failure....
All cultures are equal. right? RIGHT?????
funny you should mention Chris Rock; as I read the excerpt and the earlier comments I was thinking about his next joke being about 2 kinds of cruise lines.
Of course not.
Negroes being Negroes. Nothing new here.
They are Dressed like they are in the GHETTO!
Carnival is CHUCKIE CHEESE of the SEAS!!
River cruises are definitely NOT just for old people!! There are NO KIDS, but most are middle aged.....40-70....depending on the line. We did 4 Crystal River Cruises and they were the BEST TIME EVER!

That is a very important point, and goes to the root of the problem. Unfortunately, I see no way to reverse it. Any attempt would be squashed by the Democrats and the professional race-baiters.
Permit me to add something to my post #48.
Maybe there is a way out. Let’s say Trump is successful in bringing industry back to America. Then factories would return to the cities, and offer good jobs.
Working at a good job fosters a sense of pride, and dignity. Plus after putting in eight hours, you might just be too tired to hang out on street corners.
That could work. Or am I being too optimistic?
I’ve seen two different versions of the Titanic, don’t they wear tuxedos a lot and listen to orchestra music while having intellectual discussions with the captain at their table?
Good one!
Laffin’ and will be using it....
I didn’t look at the video but I bet it looked like the movie Titanic in the dining hall. Tails and tuxedos. Ladies with purple hair and furs.
When I want to get away from it all and have a nice relaxing vacation, I always go for the giant floating apartment buildings, jammed with loud obnoxious drunken tourists.
Yup. One guy calls another guy a blighter for taking the last truffle in the buffet line and the next thing you know crystal brandy snifters are ricocheting off the Swarovski chandeliers...
Too optimistic. I would put in 12+ hours a day. Too worn to drink or do drugs or engage in others affairs. I was drug tested monthly as we were government contractors. I didn’t give a rats ass, I made some bread.
Like a bunch of incestual raped apes.
We need to ax what color dey be?
Why I would never set foot on a Carnival Cruise.
Ghetto of the seas

No poster has mentioned this, but I’ve learned that although Carnival has the worst reputation for these sorts of problems, other cruise lines also experience such events from time to time depending on their departure port, like Baltimore, New Orleans, and New York for example.
“On a similar subject my wife left the brochure for one of those European river cruise companies on the kitchen table recently.”
My wife and i are about the same age. She saw a TV commercial for the same company. They were doing a tour of the St Lawrence Seaway out to Canada’s maritime. it looked interesting.
IE Sucking up to lower class clientele. Just like budget airlines and with the same results.
