A travel agent detailed an outrageous fight aboard a Carnival Cruise ship heading back to New York on Tuesday.
Theresa James told Fox News that the early morning melee began over a threesome between passengers that went left after the significant others learned of the tryst. James witnessed the hour-long brawl of roughly 60 passengers from her cabin door. The incident occurred on the Carnival Magic on the fifth floor, where the casino and dance floor are located. The altercation was captured on video.
The cruise ship, which was returning from an eight-day Eastern Caribbean sail, had left the New York-New Jersey port, stopping in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Staff members on the massive ship reported the free-for-all brawl to the Coast Guard. The federal agency escorted the cruise ship back to port, where law enforcement was waiting.
“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 said in a statement. “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.”
Twitter user @Jaysta posted footage from the fight on the social media platform.
