Cruise from hell: Passengers stuck in cabins as violence breaks out
Passengers on a 10-day cruise in the South Pacific found themselves stuck in their cabins as violence erupted onboard, turning the holiday of a lifetime into the cruise from hell.
Nine News reports two groups were behind the ongoing violence on the Carnival Legend, with threats made to stab passengers and throw them overboard.
Passengers aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Legend said there was ongoing violence between two groups, with threats made to stab and throw people overboard.
"We are so scared after witnessing a traumatic experience with yet again the same offenders. It was a bloodbath."
"We will not be leaving our cabins and are truly scared for our safety and what could happen in the next," a passenger told 9News.
The ship’s operator Carnival Cruise Line was quick to hose down the situation, issuing a statement that said, "The vast majority of the guests onboard Carnival Legend are enjoying their 10-day cruise holiday to the South Pacific."
"The ship's highly trained security staff have engaged with a small group of disruptive guests and ensured that they are fully aware of and are compliant with our zero tolerance policy."
The ship is set to return to Melbourne tomorrow, and it will be interesting to get the full story from passengers once it’s back in dock.
