Carnival Cruise Line has banned multiple passengers for life after a violent brawl broke out on the Carnival Sunrise over the weekend. The incident, captured on video by fellow passengers, shows individuals throwing chairs and engaging in physical altercations on the Lido Deck near the pizzeria.
Details of the Incident
The fight occurred around 5:30 PM on Saturday, June 7th, shortly after the Carnival Sunrise departed from Half Moon Cay, Carnival's private island in the Bahamas. The ship was midway through a 4-night round-trip sailing from Miami that began on June 5th, 2025.
Social media was quickly flooded with videos showing the chaos as passengers scrambled to avoid the melee. According to reports, the brawl took place near the complimentary pizzeria, a popular spot for grabbing a snack after a day spent ashore.
Carnival's security team responded swiftly to the scene, restraining the involved parties. The cruise line confirmed that the individuals involved in the fight have been banned from all future Carnival voyages.
Consequences for Disruptive Passengers
Passengers who engage in disruptive behavior on cruises face serious consequences. While cruise ships have holding cells, passengers can also be confined to their staterooms under security watch. One passenger reported seeing a man locked in his room with security stationed outside 24/7.
In some cases, disruptive passengers may be removed from the cruise entirely and left to find their own way home, potentially incurring significant costs for last-minute flights and accommodations. This emphasizes the importance of understanding the cruise contract before embarking.
Carnival's Code of Conduct
Carnival's Code of Conduct explicitly prohibits disruptive behavior. The cruise line maintains a zero-tolerance policy for any conduct that affects the comfort, enjoyment, or safety of other guests or the crew.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior while cruising. While vacations are meant to be relaxing and enjoyable, it's crucial to remember that actions have consequences, especially in a confined environment like a cruise ship.
