Around two dozen Carnival Cruise Line passengers were removed
from the Carnival Legend on Friday following a violent brawl that one onlooker described as a “bloodbath.” The Carnival Legend was scheduled to dock in Melbourne on Saturday following a 10-day trip through the South Pacific, but was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Eden, New South Wales, where police unloaded the unruly passengers, 9 News Australia is reporting. Witnesses say the fight broke out very early on Friday morning between a large extended family, guests and staff members, and grew to the point where fellow passengers were “truly scared for [their] safety.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=P1c2s0dQD3g Footage from the ship shows several passengers punching, kicking and wresting each other to the floor, while security officers attempt to break up the melee.
