A Carnival cruise devolved into near-anarchy during its 10 days in the South Pacific, with some passengers locking themselves inside their cabins, others kicked off the ship and security guards brawling with vacationers in a bare-knuckles melee.
Carnival said it would investigate what happened after a video surfaced, showing the guards punching, kicking and threatening passengers during the worst of the fighting Friday. But the cruise line is already blaming “a large family group” for instigating the violence, which some passengers said escalated for days before security could contain it.

ARRRG! Lots of grog and a good time had for all!
What?? Because free groceries, housing and cars aren’t enough?? We have to pay for them to go on cruises, too?
Another reason I won’t ever go on a cruise.
>>Why is this news worthy when everyday there are 500 other cruise ships sailing the oceans without a fight or outbreak of norovirus?
I don’t think you understand the nature of “news”. Business-as-usual is not news. A “large family” disrupting an entire cruise ship is certainly news.

Fixed that.
My idea of a great cruise is an overnight with my wife at a Best Western, with Thai food carry out.
Hah! I like the way you think my brother. That’s entertainment right there.
In the meantime, I’ll just drive.
Think of it - you could stand on the fantail and throw Bocce balls and shuffle board pucks at them... AND flip them the bird at the same time....
I’d pay extra to see security kicking passengers.
I’ve been in the brig on a cruise ship.
It’s no big deal.
You get room service and there’s no tipping.
Have you run into Willie Aames?
I bet if we talked nice to the cooks, we could get expired or leftover food and throw off the back and see how many sharks we could draw in.
Only problem is, it would be a real shame if one of them fell in heh.
“..be a real shame if one of them fell in...”
Yeah, I’d shed a tear... from laughing my ass off.
Or your local Waffle House or Chucky Cheese franchise.
“A large family named Barkho had picked on Aussies.” The family was kicked off.
Sounds like a bunch of drunk losers with violent genes. Just place them is a separate boat with a slow leak.
The pirates and terror groups may want to offer that trouble-maker family some jobs. I heard the family was from Italy.
Maybe be more merciful to just give them copious amounts of alcohol followed by a Viking funeral. To make it more interesting, you could fire flaming arrows from the bow and use the ship’s speed coupled with wind and lob the arrows in.
Cut the rowboat loose and call it the Captain Bligh excursion.
Barkho, isn’t Italian, more like Albanian.
Perps were targeting Aussies, maybe the were moose limbs.
