Somehow I don't think this will ever occur on a Holland America ship.

Crazy....

[wales4ever]

It can occur anywhere, when people drink too much......

[puppycanducruise]

Too much drinking can cause problems on any cruise line.

[Sir PMP]

Can't wait for Brexit...

The pictures shown are all wrong, compared to the text of the article.
Makes me wonder about the article itself.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Sorry to hear about this.

 

Sadly I do believe that this could happen on any ship at any time over anything.  Cruise lines have relaxed too many rules and many have changed (not for the good).  People are also changing.

You're right Ruth, the video itself shows everybody happy and waving the Union Jack around the pool, no sign of a brawl..

No sign of it being 2:00 AM, either. Or all those flying plates and blood.

I think that's more the editor who wants to have more than just text and uses stock footage to dress up the article. Looking at other newsreports, including bbc, it happened but there is no photo/video evidence (yet).

 

I am in aviation and those reports have invariably the wrong picture of aircraft.

Over indulging in booze  does create problems whether at sea or on land  .This is why we have laws  about over drinking & driving 

[Copper10-8]

What occurred on P&O's Britannia can occur on any line, given the right circumstances (read availability, overindulgence, and over serving of alcoholic beverages), combined with the general makeup of a large group of passengers (read "spring break" mentality) on board

No, the laws are against drinking 😉. A drink can put you over depending on the rules where you live.

 

I am pretty sure that the people on this cruise had more than a drink or two.

[Paulinda]

I bet a lot of those brawlers had the Signature Beverage Package!  It occurs after 15 drinks!

They were all Canadians..🍸

Formal night....

 

It was the recently implemented £10 surcharge for a second lobster.

[Lovely other]

The reason I refuse to sail on a predominantly British cruise line is because they go in for all this patriotic bull that just stirs up the idiot factor . Add alcohol and the current bad feelings over brexit and off it goes ... 

 

I’ve seen it first hand and that’s why I stick with HAL. Although I did get into a disagreement with a guy from Texas just after the brexit vote 😆

Do clown suits meet gala night attire? It seems some passengers were offended by someone arriving to dinner in a clown outfit.

With the lousy exchange rate, we Canadians can no longer afford to get drunk on cruise ships.

I don't know, Copper.  Doesn't everyone go to bed at 9:00 pm on HAL?   At least that is what I've read on this board.  I thought that was lights out.

They were Brits.  Brits and a lot of booze often leads to mayhem.

 

I'm a Brit.

I hope not, that one of the reasons I stopped cruising with P & O

Wouldn't surprise me as anything goes these days!
