Melee over 'Chicken tenders' at sea: Carnival Cruise ship turns chaotic as passengers trade punches; video goes viral

Send Push
A late-night craving for chicken tenders spiralled into chaos aboard a Carnival Cruise ship when a brawl erupted near the buffet line at midnight.

Videos circulating online show several passengers trading punches as security staff struggled to restore order. Witnesses said the melee began around 2 am on Monday on the ship Carnival Sunshine, just hours before the vessel was due to dock in Miami.

Content creator Mike Terra filmed the brawl and posted the video on Instagram @mikeisterra. Captioning the clip, he wrote: “I always hear Carnival is ghetto/ratchet. I have been cruising for years, but this is my first time seeing some action on a ship.”



"Over chicken tenders,” the video maker claimed, though the exact reason behind the fight remained unclear. However, the dispute quickly escalated, drawing in nearly two dozen people.


The seven-day cruise had sailed from Miami last Thursday, stopping at two Bahamian ports before returning to Florida.

The incident, now viral on social media, has reignited debate over passenger safety and crowd control on cruise ships, particularly during late-night dining hours.
