BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A large fight broke out late last week on a cruise ship based out of Port Canaveral and the captain of the Carnival Dream ended up throwing ten passengers off the ship. They were left in Costa Maya, Mexico.

Carnival says they made arrangements for the ten people thrown off the ship to get home, along with an 11th person that was part of their party; they do not face any charges.

What prompted the brawl is still not clear. While the Carnival Dream was sailing between Belize and Costa Maya, the brawl broke out. Ron Peczinka of St. Cloud said he woke up in his cabin to the sound of people running down the hallways.

“My friend's cabin, they knocked on his door and told him to lock his door, not to come out in the hallway until, you know, until morning,” Peczinka said.

The next morning, Peczinka said he noticed picture frames in a ship gallery shattered and security officers positioned in more visible locations throughout the ship.

“I'd sailed on other ships before, and there was never anything like this that happened on another ship. I think it's disgraceful that they allowed something like this to happen,” he said.

I also remember smoking on an airplane

There is only one thing that's better about flying today and that's that all the flights are non-smoking.

Indeed.

Particularly if they had been “rednecks” as some fool posted here on FR.

Y’know those pervasive rednecks that have destroyed most large American inner cities over the past several decades.
