The Tampa-based Carnival Paradise was returning to its home port when the incident occurred in the Lido Deck dining room. A passenger trying to buy a pizza filmed the entire incident, capturing chairs being thrown and plates flying across the room.

The exact cause of the fight is unclear, but it involved a group of women yelling obscenities and tackling each other.

After a few minutes, security stepped in to break up the fight. However, the aftermath left the dining team with a huge mess, including broken plates, glass, and food all over the floor, which the service team had to clean up.

The video of the altercation was originally posted to TikTok by user rizzarioman123 and has now gone viral on social media.

(Note: The video is graphic and involves fighting. It was once removed from TikTok and has since been reposted.)

Carnival told Cruise Radio in a statement“Carnival Paradise’s security team responded to an incident that occurred on June 6. As per our policy, we will not tolerate such behavior and the guests involved have been fined and will no longer sail on Carnival Cruise Line.”

A commenter on the video said: “What could you possibly have to fight for on a cruise. If you don’t like someone, go to the other side of the ship. It’s quite big. Hmm.

At the beginning of 2023, Carnival sent a letter to guests during short cruises, reminding them of their code of conduct and the consequences that could result if a guest misbehaves.

In line with our commitment to safety, disruptive behavior is not tolerated, and any passenger whose behavior affects the comfort, enjoyment, safety or well-being of other passengers or crew will be disembarked at their own discretion. charges and banned from sailing on Carnival in the future. »

Carnival also notes that guests must acknowledge and agree to the code of conduct on the cruise line’s ticket contract before boarding the ship.
