Carnival Cruise passengers banned for ending trip to the Bahamas with a morning brawl
No arrests were made after all involved refused to press charges, but all 16 landed on the 'Do Not Sail List'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Perhaps the disappointment of going an entire Carnival Cruise without a brawl got to them. Maybe it was frayed nerves following a trip to the Bahamas. Whatever the reason, more than a dozen passengers got involved in a wild fight while waiting in the customs line at Port Miami.
The chaos broke out while you were arriving at the office at around 8 a.m. on Monday morning. The Carnival Conquest had docked, passengers had gotten off the cruise ship and an argument apparently between two women set it off.

The Daily Mail reports that a woman dressed in a black strapless dress ducked under a line divider and started throwing punches at a woman in her pajamas. If that doesn’t set the scene, nothing will.
A third woman jumped in, pulled some hair, then all hell broke loose. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers put an end to the madness, or as some might refer to it, the perfect end to their Carnival Cruise experience.
The Daily Mail spoke to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and Carnival Cruise Lines about the brawl. It turns out that nobody was arrested because all involved refused to press charges.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The sheriff’s office also told the outlet that the reason for the disagreement, between what they say was two families, isn’t known. While they avoided taking a trip to jail, 16 people didn’t avoid making the cruise line’s "Do Not Sail List," according to a spokesperson.

I don't know about you, but man do I miss going on a cruise. I haven’t been in more than a decade. There's something about buffets, the open sea and the potential for an incredible amount of chaos that I kind of miss.
