Carnival Cruise Line bans 16 passengers for life following a brawl that breaks out when its Carnival Conquest ship arrives at Port Miami, Florida. Multiple outlets report that the altercation occurs in or near a customs queue shortly after the ship docks on Monday, June 22, following a voyage to the Bahamas. Footage described by one outlet shows passengers charging at one another around 8am. The dispute is reported to involve passengers at the port as they disembark and proceed through customs procedures.
According to the reports, Carnival responds by placing those 16 individuals on the cruise line’s “Do Not Sail List,” meaning they are barred from future voyages. The accounts agree on the ship involved (Carnival Conquest), the location (Port Miami), the timing (around 8am on June 22), and the number of passengers removed from future travel (16). None of the sources provide additional details on what specifically triggers the fight or identify the passengers involved.
