Dozens of Carnival Cruise Line passengers have been placed on the popular cruise line's “do not sail list” and are banned from setting sail on any of the company’s vessels again after getting involved in a violent brawl in Galveston, Texas, where their ship was docked.
The violence was captured on video, which was later posted to social media. In the clip, several cruise passengers push through a crowd in the terminal before someone gets pushed to the ground and begins to get pummeled by at least two men.
The brawl then expanded to additional areas of the disembarkation zone. While the majority of the violence was not visible in the clip, several people were seen pushing another person to the ground before throwing punches and kicking the victim.

Daredevils may run into a hiccup if they're looking to climb the world’s highest mountain.
Mount Everest, located in the Himalayas, is exploring restricting access to the summit.
Nepal has drafted a law that would require climbers to have prior experience with hiking one of the Himalayan mountains, Reuters reported.
ANCIENT TEMPLE UNDERGOES RENOVATIONS TO PREVENT EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE
The proposed law aims at improving safety while also reducing overcrowding on the summit.
Those wanting to climb Mount Everest would have to provide evidence of having climbed at least one 7,000-meter (22,965 ft.) mountain in Nepal.
In 2023, 12 climbers were reported dead while five went missing following 478 hiking permits issued by Nepal, according to Reuters.
An area above 26,247 ft. on the mountain is referred to as the “death zone.”
That's where the air is too thin to support human life without supplemental oxygen.

Many travelers to Istanbul, Turkey, may find themselves at one of the most beautiful sacred places in the world: the Hagia Sophia.
The ancient temple attracts scores of visitors from the West. It's known for its history as a Christian basilica for almost 1,000 years before becoming a mosque during the Ottoman Empire.
Officials are now working to preserve the historic domes of the monument — built between 532 and 537 AD — from the threat of earthquakes.
