More than 20 people banned after brawl at Carnival Cruise Line in Galveston

A brawl occurred on April 26, 2025, in the debarkation area of the Carnival Jubilee cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas, involving multiple passengers.
The fight involved about 20 people who had previous conflicts, including Ethan Meritt-Clark, who said he met the group while playing basketball aboard the ship.
During the incident, Meritt-Clark admitted to pushing an elderly man who had tried to de-escalate the situation, and law enforcement intervened to break up the fight.
Carnival Cruise Line banned 24 passengers from future sailings and stated, "We will not tolerate such behavior," while only Meritt-Clark was arrested and held on a $5,000 bond.
The case was turned over to law enforcement, with Customs and Border Protection detaining several individuals, suggesting ongoing investigation and enforcement actions.
