Six Cruise Guests Hit with $52K+ Fines After Nassau Port Brawl

Six American cruise passengers from Colorado were fined a combined $52,725 after a brawl at Nassau’s Cruise Terminal on June 8. The group faced charges including assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct, obscene language, resisting arrest, and property damage, and all pleaded guilty while claiming intoxication. Fines ranged from $150 to $16,600 per person, plus $5,375 in officer compensation. The incident occurred in the port area and at the Tourism Police Station; it involved injuries to officers and damage to property, but it is unclear which cruise ships or lines were involved. There were six ships in Nassau that day, from four lines, while the vast majority of beachgoers sailed without incident.
