Dramatic footage shows a massive brawl breaking out on a Carnival cruise ship, allegedly between a “group of drunken girls from Tampa,” as shocked passengers look on.
We see a group of unruly women throwing chairs across the dining room, hitting each other and dragging each other to the floor, and shouting threats.
A traveler captured the intense fight on camera as he walked into one of the ship’s dining facilities and shouted, “I just want pizza!” amid the chaos.
The security guards have to intervene when the fight gets out of hand, but their attempts to talk to the women seem futile as the fight continues.

The man filming the wild scenes, Nick Richardson, provides commentary, laughing and repeatedly shouting “Goddammit” as the fight escalates.
“This is what happens at 3 a.m. when you have a bunch of drunk girls from Tampa,” said Richardson, 43, who Reportedly on the cruise with his fiancée and children.
We see the women knocking each other to the ground and pulling out each other’s hair during the bizarre commotion.
