Carnival Cruise Brawl in Galveston Bans 24 Passengers

A massive brawl broke out in the Galveston, Texas cruise terminal on April 26 as passengers disembarked from the Carnival Jubilee following a week-long Caribbean cruise. The altercation, which reportedly began in the luggage pickup area, involved at least two dozen people and was captured in widely circulated videos showing chaotic scenes and security struggling to intervene. Carnival Cruise Line responded by placing 24 individuals on its lifetime 'Do Not Sail' list, stating a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior. The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and was handed over to law enforcement. Social media reaction has been intense, with widespread debate and astonishment at the scale of the violence. This is not the first such incident for Carnival, which experienced a similar brawl involving dozens of passengers in 2022.
