A Carnival cruise in the South Pacific descended into violent anarchy
MSM/Washington Post ^ | 2/17/18

Posted on 02/17/2018 6:38:06 PM PST by nuconvert

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.

I would not waste good booze on those morons...

Gasoline, yes... Bourbon, not just “no”, but “HELL no!”

Well... maybe a bottle of Ripple, Colt .45, or Thunderbird...from the description of their behavior, I’d say that’s probably more up their alley, as it were...

:^)

I only cruise with Disney. It costs double, and it’s worth it.

This is one of those stories that just makes you spew coffee out of your nose all over the keyboard when you first read it...

A clown posse of low-life retards decides to make life a living Hell for everyone on a cruise ship...

You can’t make this sh*t up, no, you really can’t....

Would make one Hell of a funny movie, lemme tell ya.

The passengers just got too enthusiastic......Had they not been so enthusiastic they might have averted tragedy. So much for international intrigue.

I went on a theme cruise once.

They have jazz cruises and cooking cruises and yoga cruises.

I was on the Learn How To Mime Cruise.

I thought it was Learn How To Mine Cruise.

2000 jackasses running around wearing cold cream and black leotards pretending they were pulling on an invisible rope.

There I was with a shovel and a pan and they kept grabbing the pan and pretending it was a steering wheel like they were driving a car.

I hit em with my shovel.

I hit a boatload of em with my shovel.

I lined up 13 of em with different sized heads and played the William Tell Overture on their heads with my shovel.

It was so beautiful that it made the Captain cry.

I would’ve guessed Turkish based on the son’s physical appearance, but Albanian is quite likely too. IIRC, there’s a branch of the Romani troublemakers that flourishes in Albania.

Next thing you know, the cruise liner will dock in Guam, causing the island to tip over

And Albanians have that “Code of Lek” thing, with vendettas. Makes the Hatfields and McCoys look like pikers in comparison.

A bunch of those mimes was up on the promenade deck doing some kind of Mime training that looked pretty filthy to me.

It was like they was all in boxes and couldn’t get out.

So I helped them escape from those invisible boxes.

That’s right.

Knocked em on the head with my shovel.

After I freed the first two, the rest of em seemed to have figured out a way to get out of them boxes.

Some of em had on those little black hats.

Well, that made for a perfect game.

I hit em in the head to knock their little black hats off for distance and accuracy.

I knocked one hat into the chocolate fountain.

That’s harder to do than you might think.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

They’re Arabs. Look at their Facebook pages, they look Arabic and there is Arabic script all over them.
