Overview
- A chaotic fight broke out in the customs/debarkation line at PortMiami after the Carnival Conquest returned from the Bahamas on Monday, June 22, video shows.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Miami‑Dade officers intervened on scene but made no arrests because participants refused to press charges.
- Carnival Cruise Line placed 16 people involved on its Do Not Sail/no‑sail list as an internal enforcement step and said it does not tolerate the behavior.
- Social media footage shows more than a dozen people fighting and throwing luggage and stanchions, and local authorities said the clash appeared to involve two feuding families.
- The incident follows a separate May onboard altercation that produced federal assault citations and highlights how cruise lines use company bans when criminal cases are not pursued and when jurisdiction falls to port or federal authorities.
