A cruise ship descended into chaos after a group of people onboard got into an almighty brawl ‘over chicken tenders.’
Video footage of the fight showed a group of several young cruisers throwing punches and knocking each other to the ground as onlookers crowded around watching the chaos.
Security guards made attempts to intervene, as one turned away from the fight and reached for his walkie talkie.
Punches landed with shoes and phones flying across the floor. Many bystanders had their phones out recording the fight while one screamed: ‘Where the f*** is security?’
Mike Terra, who recorded the shocking footage and uploaded it on social media two days ago, flipped his camera while recording and said: ‘Over chicken tenders is crazy.’
Exact details of the ship’s name and the voyage on which the video was filmed are unclear. Daily Mail has reached out to Carnival and Terra for comment.
The brawl broke out around 2am, according to Terra who added that the ship had set sail from Miami and said it was an ‘isolated incident’.
He said the fight was over ‘more’ than just chicken tenders ‘But that is really the basics.’
‘I always hear Carnival is ghetto/ratchet. I have been cruising for years but this my first time seeing some action on a ship I was on.’

Carnival Cruises has had a series of unfortunate stories emerge from on board its ships, including a brawl that led to several passengers being banned for life.

In April, Carnival banned 24 passengers who broke into a fight when disembarking the Carnival Jubilee, USA Today reported.
In an attempt to curb some poor behavior from cruisegoers, Carnival implemented a series of rules including a 1am curfew for cruisers under 17 without an adult over 21.
