A jealous threesome leading to a 60-person brawl was certainly not on the summer 2022 bingo card, but here we are.
The massive brawl broke out on Carnival’s Magic cruise on June 28, the last night of the ship’s eight-day Caribbean voyage.
According to cruise passenger Theresa James, the fight started before 2 a.m. on the ship’s fifth floor, where the dance club and casino are located. Allegations of a threesome and cheating between passengers sparked the drama when their significant others found out about their sexcapade.

The fight lasted more than an hour, and beer bottles were reportedly smashed during the incident. While no serious injuries were reported, James says one woman may have suffered minor injuries related to cuts from the ordeal.
The fight was apparently so big that security had to call help from the U.S. Coast Guard to help escort the ship to shore.
Even with the significant disruption, Carnival Cruise tells the New York Post that the ship docked back in Manhattan on schedule.

An Investigation Has Been Launched
The New York Police Department is currently investigating the incident. No arrests have been made at this time.
It’s unclear if the brawl happened in New York, New Jersey, or international waters, complicating criminal jurisdiction.
According to James, she says aside from the incident; the trip was an overall good experience.
