Dance Floor Brawl on NYC-Bound Cruise Sparks Coast Guard Escort, NYPD Probe

"thankfully no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened," carnival magic said in a statement, published june 28, 2022 • updated on june 28, 2022 at 1:26 pm.

Police are investigating after an all-out brawl erupted on a cruise ship as it headed back to New York overnight, authorities confirmed Tuesday after it safely arrived. Up to 60 people were ultimately involved in the fray over international waters, cops said.

The eight-day cruise aboard the Carnival Magic left its New York City-New Jersey hub on June 20, stopping in Dominicana, Turks and Caicos and a private island in the Bahamas before turning around and heading back toward the East Coast.

It's not clear what sparked the fight, but PIX 11 reported it started between two people on a dance floor and intensified as others joined in the fray. Anywhere from 40 to 60 people were involved in the fight by the time it was broken up, officials said.

Cruise officials notified the Coast Guard, which launched a small boat from Staten Island to escort the ship the rest of the way to its Pier 88 dock. Members of the NYPD, which the Coast Guard had notified, were standing by when it arrived.

There was no immediate word on possible arrests. Jurisdictional questions around where the ship was at the time of the altercation -- was it in international waters? New Jersey waters? New York waters? -- have yet to be answered so it's not entirely clear just yet which department or agency will lead the investigation.

Carnival Magic acknowledged the incident, saying, "a number of guests were involved in an altercation in a nightclub" as the ship returned to Manhattan.

"Thankfully no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened," the cruise line's statement continued. "The ship arrived as scheduled this morning and authorities were notified and met the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation."

No injuries were reported and no weapons were involved, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Neither the Coast Guard nor the NYPD boarded the vessel, officials said. Passengers disembarked without further incident upon their NYC arrival Tuesday.

The Carnival Magic was built in 2011 and is registered in Panama. It is more than 1,000 feet long and sails to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada/New England and the Caribbean, from Port Canaveral, Norfolk, Miami and New York, on cruises that run anywhere from two to nine days. It can accommodate up to 3,690 guests.

VIDEO: Massive Brawl Breaks Out on Carnival Magic Cruise Ship

A massive fight breaks out on the Carnival Magic involving up to 60 passengers following allegations of cheating and threesomes

The huge fight was allegedly caused by a threesome amongst passengers that upset the displeased partners of the participants.

A fight involving up to 60 participants broke out aboard a Carnival Cruise Line ship returning to New York City following an eight-day Caribbean cruise this week.

Initial reports indicated the fight onboard the Carnival Magic was in response to allegations of cheating and threesomes amongst the participants. Units from the New York City Police Department and the U.S. Coast Guard were on hand as the vessel docked in New York, but they did not board the ship due to jurisdictional concerns.

“Last night while Carnival Magic was returning to New York, a number of guests were involved in an altercation in a nightclub. Thankfully no serious injuries were reported, and our onboard security team intervened,” Carnival Cruise Lines said in a statement regarding the incident. “The ship arrived as scheduled this morning and shoreside law enforcement authorities were notified and met the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation.”

One passenger who witness the fight told  Fox News Digital  the melee broke out shortly before 2 a.m. on the fifth floor where a casino and dance club are located. Official reports indicate only that the fight took place sometime before 5:20 a.m. Theresa James, who is also a travel agent, said the fight took place just outside her fifth-floor cabin between “ignorant fools acting stupid” and lasted around an hour, taking place over multiple floors. She noted the fight was not physical during the entire hour, but that beer bottles were thrown in addition to punches, and that at least one woman might have suffered injuries.

Local broadcaster  WPIX  said the fight began with two people on the dance floor. James told  Fox  the cause of the fight was an alleged threesome between cheating passengers that upset the participant's partners.

Video of the incident showed a violent free-for-all amongst both male and female passengers. In one clip, a man appears to drag a woman by the hair across the floor while others are throwing punches.

Jurisdictional questions prevented police from boarding the vessel, but the NYPD has opened an investigation. 

“We wanted to make sure that when the individuals got off the boat there was no further disputes on the streets in Manhattan,” an NYPD spokesperson told  Patch . ‘They were there to expedite the disembarkation process.'”

The Carnival Magic was returning from an eight-day cruise to the Caribbean with stops in Dominicana, Turks and Caicos, and a private Bahamian island.

Dance-floor brawl breaks out on carnival cruise ship arriving in nyc.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A dance-floor brawl broke out on board a Carnival cruise ship early Tuesday ahead of its docking in the Big Apple, authorities said. 

The free-for-all erupted inside a nightclub within the Carnival Magic ship around 5:20 a.m. as it sailed near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the NYPD said. 

The fracas began as a skirmish between two people, WPIX reported . Dozens more joined the fray — with an estimated 40 to 60 people involved, according to WNBC . 

Security on board attempted to break up the fight, but then called for assistance from the Coast Guard, cops said.

The Coast Guard then escorted the ship into Pier 88 near West 48th Street in Manhattan, police said. 

A dance-floor brawl broke out on Thursday as the Carnival Magic ship docked in New York.

NYPD cops were on hand as passengers disembarked the cruise.

The ship, which departed from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New Jersey on June 20, traveled to Dominicana, Turks and Caicos and a private island in the Bahamas before returning to the East Coast, according to an online tracker .

The dance floor skirmish inside the Carnival Magic ship involved 40 to 60 people, authorities said.

No information was immediately available on arrests. Officials could not confirm by the afternoon whether the fight would be handled by the NYPD, New Jersey authorities, or if it happened in international waters.

The Carnival Magic departed from New Jersey and traveled to Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas before the fight broke out on Thursday.

“Last night while Carnival Magic was returning to New York, a number of guests were involved in an altercation in a nightclub,” the cruise liner said in a statement. “Thankfully no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened.”

“The ship arrived as scheduled this morning and shoreside law enforcement authorities were notified and met the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation.”

Your briefing on the latest headlines from across the us, thanks for signing up to the evening headlines email.

A brawl that broke out onboard a Carnival cruise ship earlier this week was reportedly sparked by allegations of cheating.

The brawl on the cruise ship bound for New York took place around 2am on 28 June on the ship’s fifth floor, where the dance floor and casino were located.

An eyewitness told Fox News Digital that the fight broke out over allegations of a threesome between passengers that had upset their significant others.

Theresa James, a travel agent, said she saw the fight from her door.

She said that beer bottles were smashed and one of the three passengers may have been injured during the fight, which lasted about an hour and eventually included some 60 people.

Ms James said that the fight was not physical the whole time. But it started from the fifth floor and went to the first floor, which according to Ms James, was a long distance.

She said that that the guests involved in the fight were “ignorant fools acting stupid”, adding that the situation could have worsened if security had not been called in.

Eventually, the ship’s security personnel had to call in the US Coast Guard to break up the fight.

Another passenger, who uses the Twitter handle “nyeem0,” said he was “at the bar listening to my own music sipping a Shirley Temple” when the brawl “broke out of nowhere”, reported The New York Post.

He said some passengers were “injured and cut up from glass” and that “most, if not all” of the ship’s security guards rushed to the club to stop the violence.

“It was the last night, so I guess they wanted to go out with a bang.”

Authorities on the ship said the cruise docked in Manhattan as scheduled on Tuesday morning .

While police were waiting for the cruise’s arrival, it is not clear whether any arrests have been made in the case.

Massive Brawl Breaks Out on Carnival Cruise Ship

Earlier this month, a massive fight broke out between multiple Guests on a Carnival Sunrise cruise.

A considerable amount of people all engaged in the intense brawl, smacking, punching, and hitting each either in the process. Multiple videos spread across all forms of social media, including in a tweet which you can see below:

As reported by  The Orlando Sentinel ,  one passenger commented on one of the videos and claimed that up to 30 people got involved in the fight. “All I know is, I was filling my cup up with lemonade then, boom, they were knuckin’ and buckin’! Whew, you just had to be there,” another TikTok user commented.

In one of the videos, a woman off camera shouts, “That’s a b-tch-as- move.” A man wearing a lanyard who appears to be an employee attempts to tone down the violence but is eventually overwhelmed.

Several passengers started to record the fight as it went on, meaning there were multiple accounts of the incident. Another tweet showing a new angle is linked down below:

The various videos show a large group of individuals beating on one another as people scream and try to intervene. A whistle can be heard in the background as the fight goes on. Some claimed the fight started because of an argument about a deck chair, but we cannot confirm this is the reason the fight broke out.

The Sunrise was on the tail end of a five-day, round-trip cruise in the Western Caribbean.

It’s unclear if any arrests were made or if anyone involved was injured.

This is a developing story, we will update our article as more information comes out.

All hell broke loose poolside on board a Carnival Cruise ship earlier this month. 

A shocking new video has emerged showing two groups involved in a verbal altercation by the Tides Bar beside the swimming pool on board the Carnival Sunrise ship.

The verbal dispute, that involved some pushing and shoving, eventually turns extremely violent. 

The violence culminates with a man pummeling a woman while she's on the ground and he leans over her. 

The fight goes on for at least a minute before members of the cruise line's security team begins to intervene and separates the groups as the shouting continues. 

According to the woman originally posted the video on TikTok, Laura Bryant, who coincidentally works as a 911 dispatcher, the fight was over 'a seat and personal space.'

At one point, Bryant can be heard commenting that a woman lost her wig in the melee.  

Bryant said that the brawl took place on Friday September 9. It's not clear where exactly the ship was when the fight broke out.

Records show that the Carnival Sunrise made stops in Ocho Rio, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island and Miami, Florida, around the time that beating took place. 

One person who witness the incident commented on the post saying: 'All I know is, I was filling my cup up with lemonade then boom, they were knuckin’ and buckin’... you just had to be there.' 

Another witness said that they left the scene just before the fight. Prior to leaving, that witness said that one of the groups was playing cards and it seemed like  'everybody vibing' when he left. 

While another commenter said: 'The Cruise lines need to implement harsh punishment for those who get into altercations. These videos are hurting the cruise industry from attracting new cruisers, and possibly turning avid cruises away as well.'

Several other commenters blamed the excessive alcohol served on board while another referred Carnival as the 'Spirit Airlines of the sea.' 

The Sunrise has been part of the Carnival fleet since October 1999. The ship can carry 3,000 passengers in addition to a crew of 1,100. 

According to the Carnival Cruise  code of conduct,  'disruptive behavior is not tolerated and any guest whose conduct affects the comfort, enjoyment, safety or well-being of other guests or crew will be disembarked at their own expense and banned from sailing on Carnival in the future.'

Back in June, a  massive brawl broke out on the Carnival Magic as it returned to New York City , prompting the Coast Guard to escort the ship back to dock and the NYPD to open a probe.

The fight began in the nightclub of the Carnival Magic at about 5.20am on the final night of the ship's eight-day Caribbean cruise with stops in Dominicana, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas. 

Video of the fracas shows a chaotic scene as dozens of passengers punch and shove each other, while an outnumbered ship security guard tries in vain to break up the fight.

The brawl started as an altercation between two passengers on the dance floor, and cops say it widened into a fight involving as many as 40 to 60 passengers, according to PIX11 . No serious injuries were reported.

The brawl took place as the ship approached harbor in New York, but it's unclear whether the vessel was in New York, New Jersey, or international waters at the time of the fight, making criminal jurisdictional issues murky.

There were no arrests reported reported in the aftermath of the fight, and it was unclear which agency would lead the investigation. 

Following the fight, cruise line officials notified the Coast Guard, which launched a boat from Staten Island to escort it to dock in Manhattan, according to WNBC-TV .

Cruise Ship Calls in Coast Guard After Massive Brawl on Board

The skies may be friendly, but it's everyone for themselves on the sea..

There was very little magic in the air on a Carnival Magic cruise ship that saw a massive brawl break out in the early morning hours on Tuesday just outside of New York. It got so out of hand that the U.S. Coast Guard was deployed to escort the ship to its final destination in New York Harbor.

The ship was returning from an eight-day round-trip voyage to the Caribbean. It was near the Verrazano Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Staten Island, when the fight reportedly broke out, according to PIX 11 . The cause of the massive brawl was reportedly jealously over a threesome hookup that happened on board, according to the Independent :

When the ship docked at Pier 88 near West 48th Street, police and EMS were waiting, authorities said. The NYPD initially described the incident as an emergency docking, but Carnival said in a statement that the stop was scheduled all along. “Last night while Carnival Magic was returning to New York, a number of guests were involved in an altercation in a nightclub. Thankfully no serious injuries were reported and our onboard security team intervened,” the statement read. “The ship arrived as scheduled this morning and shoreside law enforcement authorities were notified and met the ship to interview suspects and witnesses and conduct an investigation.”

At least 40 to 60 people joined the fray and the fight went on for an hour before onboard security got everyone under control. Still, the Coast Guard escorted the ship to its scheduled final stop and police first responders were waiting on the dock.

A quick YouTube search reveals that big fights on these ships are not at all uncommon. We beat this drum pretty regularly, but cruise ships seem like pure hell. Eight days on one would make me want to start a nuclear war on the dance floor but I say this as an outsider, as I’d never board one of those polluting , disease-spreading floating toilets. They could be the absolute bees-knees, at least there’s apparently plenty of hanky-panky, but at what cost?

PHOTOS: Carnival cruise ship damaged after slamming into pier amid strong winds

TAMPA, Fla. ( WFLA ) — A Carnival cruise ship docked in Jamaica was left damaged after its side slammed into the side of a pier.

The Carnival Magic made contact with the pier in Ocho Rios after a pier fender — the protective structure that helps prevent ships from colliding with the pier — fell off amid strong winds on Tuesday morning.

The ship, which departed from Florida on Sunday, had docked at the pier shortly after 8 a.m. local time, a few hours before the incident took place.

Carnival Cruise Lines confirmed the incident in a statement to Nexstar’s WFLA, but said operations continued as normal following the collision.

“Carnival Magic was involved in an incident while in Ocho Rios, Jamaica on Tuesday morning, Feb. 6 when strong winds and swells caused the pier fender to collapse under pressure, and the ship made contact with the pier,” reads a statement shared by Carnival.

The cruise line said no one was injured during the incident.

For the safety of the guests and staff aboard, the ship left the area and docked at a nearby pier. All guests that were ashore were able to get back on the ship.

Carnival also said weather conditions caused several cruises to cancel their docking in the Grand Cayman on Wednesday.

The Carnival Magic left Miami on Sunday. Its itinerary included stops at the Bimini Islands and Ocho Rios before its scheduled return to Miami on Saturday.
