Wish you had a video camera handy. This is not a common occurrence to my knowledge and experience. I bet they have some holds on their credit cards for the damage. I also bet they will be banned from ever setting foot on another Carnival ship.
My wife and I almost witnessed a fight between two individuals on the Carnival Valor in 2005. Needless to say I wasn't going to let them ruin everyone else's good time. I told them to go ahead and beat the heck out of one another out on the deck while no one was around, but to get out of everyone else's way so we could all continue to have a good time. Morons are the people who get involved in fights period, but especially when they get in a fight on a cruise.

Before anyone tries it, those videos have been tagged by YouTube as being for adults only, and therefore we will not have any links to them here.
I viewed them. Drunk young people, sideways ballcaps with price tags and flat brims, you know the story. You know how some drunks suddenly get deaf and have to yell each word? One of them was recording it. He then gets approached by security who force him to leave and he starts yelling he is going to sue them. He also swears a lot. I hope he was one of the slackjaws they kicked off the cruise.
