It’s Time to Have a Discussion About How Black People Are Destroying Carnival Cruise Line…
Revolver, July 11, 2024
The first rule of Carnival Fight Club? You don’t talk about Carnival Fight Club. Seriously, if you bring up the frequent brawls on this budget cruise line and identify who’s mainly involved (black people), you risk being instantly branded a “racist” simply for acknowledging the very clear and obvious pattern. It’s a classic case of “don’t believe your lying eyes.” The Marxist PC culture urges us to overlook what’s truly happening and stick to the regime’s narrative du jour. But let’s be clear: the truth and facts aren’t racist—they’re just reality. Discussing them is essential. It’s similar to how people avoided talking about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. It wasn’t considered “polite” to mention that the so-called “president” is a raging dementia patient; it was seen as rude and insensitive. So, everyone pretended everything was fine, and look where that’s gotten us. But this taps into the very core of the left’s DEI agenda, which sidesteps excellence in favor of charity. As Americans awaken from their long slumber and crave authenticity, it’s time to address the real issues. Let’s discuss what’s actually happening—not from a place of hate, but from a standpoint of ‘Here’s the reality; how can we improve this? Let’s discuss how black people are literally destroying the Carnival Cruise Line brand.
Since 2022, Carnival’s stock has taken a nosedive. What used to be a value-driven, family-friendly, and singles cruise line has now degraded into what many are calling the “Walmart” of cruising—marked by bloody brawls and block party hoodlum antics. Folks are now wondering why Carnival has gone full “ghetto.”
This new reputation as a black “fight club” has damaged Carnival’s brand. Unfortunately, this shift aligns with the darkest stereotypes of black culture: violence, uncontrolled emotions, and a lack of social graces.
This led investors to be concerned that the cruise lines have lost some ability to maintain higher prices. Shares of Carnival were down 8.8%, on pace for their largest percentage decrease since Nov. 16, 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Late that Nov. 15, Carnival said it would offer $1 billion of convertible senior notes as part of a refinancing plan.
Investors weren’t pleased by the potential stock dilution, so the shares fell 14% the next day, closing at $9.63 compared with $11.16 the day before. Shares didn’t trade above $11 again until Jan. 18, 2023.
On Thursday, Carnival was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500, which was down 0.3%.
This portrayal not only affects perceptions of the cruise line but also reinforces unflattering stereotypes that are evident in reality. A recent “fight club” incident occurred on a Carnival ship, involving a group of drunken black women from Tampa who decided the best way to solve a disagreement was with their fists.

Carnival claims they don’t tolerate this behavior, but it’s literally become commonplace. This isn’t just a one-off issue—it’s a recurring problem that too many are scared to talk about, worried they’ll be labeled “racist.”
This “Fight Club” brawl involved over 60 people.

Again, these are not just “one-time” events. The “Carnival brawls” are happening regularly at places where a lot of black folks gather.

Perhaps it’s time to engage in a serious conversation about aspects of black culture and behavior, and the law and order requirements that are necessary to institute to bring such behavior into line. If we discuss these very obvious patterns of violence openly and constructively, it could actually lead to understanding and solutions, rather than sweeping them under the rug or dismissing concerns as “racist.” Or worse, deflect by saying, “Well, white people fight too.” That’s lazy and disingenuous. Yes, while it’s true that individuals of all backgrounds can be involved in such incidents, the focus here is on a troubling “Flight Club” culture that seems to be affecting not just individual black communities but also businesses, like Carnival, on a larger scale.
