Overview

• Video posted by content creator Mike Terra shows a melee in a buffet line at about 2 a.m. on the cruise’s final night as the vessel was nearing its return to Miami from a Bahamas itinerary.
• Footage depicts roughly a dozen to around 20 people trading punches as shoes and phones fly and security personnel struggle to regain control while bystanders record and shout for help.
• Terra is heard saying “Over chicken tenders is crazy,” though he later noted the confrontation escalated over more than food and the precise trigger remains unclear.
• The specific ship has not been confirmed, with some reports citing Carnival Sunshine, and the company had not issued detailed comment or disclosed any enforcement actions or injuries in initial reporting.
• The incident follows a series of viral fights across the fleet as Carnival touts a zero‑tolerance stance and recent measures such as a 1 a.m. curfew for under‑17s, including lifetime bans for 24 passengers after an April brawl.
