Viral Video Shows Late-Night Brawl on Carnival Cruise Ship

Filmed by passenger Mike Terra, the roughly 20-person melee in a buffet line has renewed scrutiny of onboard security.

Overview

  • The fight broke out around 2 a.m. on Aug. 18 in a dining area as the ship was returning to Miami from the Bahamas.
  • Terra is heard saying it was "over chicken tenders," but he later said it involved more than food and the exact cause is unclear.
  • Footage shows multiple security guards struggling to separate passengers and calling for backup as onlookers shouted for help.
  • Some outlets identified the vessel as Carnival Sunshine, though others have not confirmed the ship, and Carnival has not issued a detailed public statement.
  • No serious injuries or police action have been publicly reported, and the incident follows earlier Carnival altercations that prompted curfews and passenger bans.
