Nearly 30 people are banned from sailing with Carnival Cruise Line after getting into a fight while disembarking a cruise over the weekend.
Video footage of the April 26 incident appears to show a group of passengers shoving past barriers inside a terminal in Galveston, Texas, before pushing at least one person to the ground and punching them. The scuffle continues even as security guards intervene.
“It went down this morning,” wrote Trelle Ray, who shared the footage on Facebook. The user said the fight occurred as passengers were leaving Carnival Jubilee.
Ray did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.
The ship was returning from a week-long Caribbean cruise with stops in Mexico and Honduras, according to CruiseMapper. The cause of the fight was not immediately clear.
“The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border (Protection),” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. “This matter has been turned over to law enforcement. Meanwhile we will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list.”
