Disembarkation is always hectic, but the chaos was taken to the next level in Texas’s Galveston Cruise Port on Saturday, April 26, 2025, by an unruly – and violent – group of passengers.
The cruise guests were in the process of disembarking from Carnival Jubilee – which had just returned from a 7-night Western Caribbean sailing that embarked from Galveston on April 19, 2025 – when a massive fight broke out in the luggage pickup area.
Carnival Cruise Line stated to Cruise Hive: “The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. The matter has been turned over to law enforcement. We will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list. They can go on another cruise line if they want but are never welcome back with us.“
24 cruise guests can be seen hitting and punching at least two other guests – with the brawl starting in the luggage hall and quickly migrating toward the far side of the hall, near the entrance to customs.
Security personnel did rush to break up the brawl, but struggled to restore order – at least initially. The footage shows that one officer was actually shoved backwards with quite a bit of force.
