Cruise Ship Brawls: Horrified Passengers Ran For Their Cabins

Cruise ships are just supposed to be places where a bunch of drunk strangers form a giant petri dish of potential ailments while trying to enjoy themselves. But one recent South Pacific cruise was totally derailed by brawling passengers engaging in fights. The cruise line lays the blame at the feet at 23 members of one Italian family. Warning: the video below, which shows just one of the brawls from aboard the cruise ship, may be disturbing due to its content. At the beginning of this video — a recording of one of multiple brawls, only some of which were filmed — a quick-thinking cruise passenger on this Carnival Legends ship can at first only see the periphery of the fight. And, of course, hear the screams. Most of the passengers were apparently Australian. The man recording the video below certainly sounds like he was. As the brawl moves closer, a number of people flee to avoid being drawn into it or injured by the participants. You'd think that a fight on a boat would have a vibe like something out of a pirate movie, at least. instead, this looks like an unarmed version of The Purge . To add to the disturbing elements of this video, people who appear to be cruise ship employees are shown appearing to engage in two different unacceptable behaviors. One person who appears to work security is shown repeatedly kicking a man who is laying on the ground. It appears that someone throws themselves over that man's body to protect him. Some reports claim that the man on the ground is a 17-year-old boy. Either way, that looks horrible. Multiple employees appear to try to deter filming, which is not even acceptable when actual police do it. Some reports claim that cruise ship employees stole people's phones in order to delete incriminating videos. The key culprits in the actual brawling and fighting, however, were reportedly members of a 23-member Italian family. One cruise passenger described this “big Italian family' assailing other passengers, resulting in people “getting strangled and punched up.” “Very violent, they were full-on attacks.” At least one passenger called his father in Australia to plead for him to get the government to send help. Though members of the crew eventually locked a number of passengers in their rooms after days of terror, there wasn't really a place where they could lock up a couple dozen troublemakers. Cruise ships don't have the authority to make people walk the plank , folks. Some passengers point to what they believe to be the real culprit. One chose to blame alcohol, as many passengers have unlimited passes to the bar. Which, she claimed, means that a lot of people are just super drunk by 6 or 7 in the evening. The problem with that accusation is that this cruise ship, which was traveling from Melbourne to New Caledonia, had 2000 people on board. Two thousand. Versus what, a couple dozen — let's say a few dozen — troublemakers. This wasn't an alcohol problem, this was a terrible people being violent problem. The frightening brawls sent a number of guests to lock themselves in their cabins for their own safety. Not exactly an ideal vacation. Carnival Cruise Line says that they've sent people to provide comfort to passengers who were understandably upset. Apparently they offered passengers 25% off on a future cruise, which is … well, that's gotten a mixed reception. Some passengers aren't planning on ever going on another Carnival Cruise Line, as you may recall that some were just as horrified by the behavior of employees as they were by the brawlers. So a 25% discount — or one of 100% doesn't mean that much. Watch this video, if you're feeling up to it, and decide for yourself if that's an experience that you'd want to risk repeating:

Ginger Zee Suffers Serious Injury Days Before Dancing With the Stars Finale

Ginger Zee has been working hard all season to emerge in the top two of Dancing With the Stars . But now we’re not sure if she’ll be well enough to dance in the finale against rival Nyle DiMarco this Monday. The Good Morning America personality has suffered a serious injury to her pelvis that may prevent her from performing, reports Us Weekly . “Ginger’s injury is really serious,” a source from the show told the magazine. “Right now she can’t rehearse the full dance, and Jenna Johnson is standing in during blocking,” the insider continued. “She will not know until the show on Monday if she can complete the two dances, a contemporary dance and the freestyle.” The meteorologist reportedly became injured while rehearsing last week with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Zee, who gave birth to son Adrian last December, explained that her pelvis is “very loose and unstable… because I just had a baby.” She is working with a physical therapist to manage the pain and rehabilitate so she can perform in the finale. Training for the dance competition takes a tremendous physical toll and has brought on injuries in a number of performers. Earlier this season, Jodie Sweetin injured her foot after practicing an advanced move with partner Keo Motsepe. Luckily, nothing was broken and she was able to continue in the competition, although she was sent home not long after. Zee’s biggest competition all season has been DiMarco, a fan favorite who has proven to be a remarkable dancer despite being deaf. We would love to see Zee and DiMarco dance off for the mirror ball trophy and give the season a proper finish, but not at the cost of her health.

The Bachelorette: Runner-Up Still Pining For Andi Dorfman After Finale Rejection?!

The latest rumor surrounding The Bachelorette suggests a heartbreaking season finale for one of the remaining guys, and a runner-up who truly thought he would win. Not only that, he wanted to with every fiber of his being. We won’t say who the final rose winner supposedly is in this particular article, but The Bachelorette spoilers have made it clearer than ever this season. Seriously … if you want to hear it from one of the participants himself, follow this link to see exactly how Nick Viall feels about the finale . He basically gives away how it went, one way or the other. That’s all we’ll say on that front, but the July 28 finale will show fair Andi Dorfman, 27, choosing between her final two suitors Nick Viall, 29, and Josh Murray, 33. The man who was rejected on that episode? Not happy. Supposedly, he’s been reaching out and is dying to see The Bachelorette in hopes that she has changed, or will soon change her mind. But will she? After Andi chose her man on the May 8 finale, the runner-up was shocked and heartbroken (he made that quite clear on the flight home follow the above link). “He thinks there’s no way she can be happy with her choice,” a source said, holding out hope that she would change her mind a la Bachelor Jason Mesnick. The Bachelorette Season 10 Finale Preview Jason famously ditched winner Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney on the After the Final Rose special. Might Andi pull a similar switcheroo? He’s been calling her and asking her to meet up in hopes that she will, a detail she has not told the man she did choose on the 10th season finale of the ABC hit. “He was thinking about getting a ring and everything,” the source added, but he was heartbroken a second time when Andi didn’t change her mind. “It’s been incredibly hard for him. He really thought she was going to pick him,” says the alleged insider, speaking to Us Weekly in its new issue. “He’s almost gone through the stages of grief: believing that she was going to come to her senses then, and now just feeling really angry and upset.” How much of this will be revealed on the After the Final Rose special, and whether the winner is cheating on Andi as has been rumored, remains to be seen.
