Overview
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which announced the action on Nov. 6, said officers at Port Everglades responded to a reported crew-on-crew assault aboard the Disney Destiny.
- CBP identified one crew member as the alleged aggressor, canceled that person’s crew visa, and removed the individual from the United States.
- Authorities and Disney have not disclosed the employee’s identity, nationality, job on the ship, the date of the confrontation, whether anyone was injured, or whether criminal charges were filed.
- There is no public evidence that passengers were involved or that scheduled sailings were disrupted, and CBP’s statement did not specify which formal removal procedure was used.
- The Disney Destiny carries about 4,000 passengers and roughly 1,600 crew, and cruise workers typically travel on crew-specific visas that grant conditional landing rights and can be revoked by CBP during U.S. port inspections.
