It sounds like you’re suggesting that Carnival Cruise Line may not be the best fit for the older residents of The Villages, a large retirement community. This could be due to the type of activities, atmosphere, or amenities offered by Carnival that may not align with the preferences or needs of seniors.

They should have rounded up all those in the fight and made them -- WALK THE PLANK. Guarantee that they wouldn't fight no mo'.

How is it racist? The camera just shows what was going on.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) cruise crime statistics, mandated by the 2010 Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act, continue to show that Carnival Cruise Line remains by far the most likely cruise line to experience physical and sexual violence at sea.

IMHO when they sold the drinking package and said you can have 15 drinks a day, and people wanted what they paid for, this sort of behavior started in ernest.
Many other cruise lines don't even limit the # of drinks you can have per day, so it's definitely not that!

We cruise once or twice a year. Several years ago, we and another couple took a Carnival cruise from NYC to Newfoundland. We had heard about the potential downside of Carnival but the itinerary worked for us. The cruise was okay, but this was the only time I've ever caught norovirus on a cruise. We made dinner time acquaintances with another group of travelers of a similar age. One of them also came down with the virus. There was an element on this ship which stood out as being louder and more self-absorbed than most others as the night went on and that's saying something on a cruise. I didn't see any brawls, but I would not have been surprised to have heard of one if it happened. I doubt that we cruise Carnival again.

Sometimes, higher cruise prices are high just to keep the riff raff away.
It's not a guarantee, but it seems to work most of the time.

They were at the "root" of the cause.

Hope this helps to clarify the gravity of the new normal.

I saw worse than this on video when a "person of female gender" didn't get ketchup in her bag.
The Mc Donald's had to close for remodeling after she tore the place up.
She wasn't acting ladylike, now was she?
She was the mother, teaching her children how to cause bedlam "to get what she want." sic

When was this "Father Knows Best" fantasy?

Those idiots fighting on the cruise ship are the same age as my daughters (who were raised better than that)...

Apparently, cellphone cameras are now racist... Who knew?
