Disturbing video has captured the moment a massive brawl broke out among Carnival Cruise ship passengers in Texas — resulting in more than a dozen people being banned from the cruise liner for life.
The violence erupted as scores of passengers were disembarking from the Carnival Jubilee when it docked in Galveston on Saturday following a week-long Caribbean jaunt, according to footage shared on social media.
“It went down this morning,” said Trelle Ray, who shared the clip on Facebook.
The footage showed multiple passengers barging past barriers to trade blows.
At one point, a man was shoved to the floor before a handful of others started violently pummeling him.
Multiple security guards could be seen running toward the pack but they weren’t able to immediately curb the melee.
Several open suitcases could be seen scattered around the terminal in the aftermath.
“The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of U.S. Customs and Border (Protection),” a Carnival Cruise spokesperson told USA Today.
“This matter has been turned over to law enforcement. Meanwhile we will not tolerate such behavior, and 24 people have been placed on our Do Not Sail list.”
At least one person was arrested over the ordeal, police said. It was not immediately clear what had started the ruckus or what charges those arrested were facing.
The Post reached out to the cruise liner but did not receive an immediate response.
