Cruise passengers got more than they bargained for when a massive brawl of more than two dozen people broke out in a pool at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island.

Videos that have since gone viral show the violent incident that took place Sunday. One man was allegedly bleeding from the head and was evacuated from the scene while officials attempted to get a control of the chaotic scene, according to media reporting.

Guests were seen in the “Oasis Lagoon” pushing and shoving one another in the shallow end of the pool. Security can also be seen attempting to intervene.

At least three people have died and 67 others were diagnosed with Legionnaires’ Disease related to a cluster in New York City’s Harlem Neighborhood, national media reported this week.

Previous reporting showed that one person had died and at least 22 others were sick, according to the New York City Health Department. The cases, health department officials said, are linked to at least five ZIP codes in central Harlem though no issues with the buildings’ plumbing systems have been identified and residents may continue normal activities such as drinking the water, bathing, cooking and using their air conditioning.

In an earlier statement, the department said: “the remediation required by the Department has been completed for the 11 cooling towers with initial positive screening results showing the presence of Legionella pneumophila, a type of bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease.”

A cruise passenger faces a criminal charge after police accused him of shoving a bus conductor coming around to check tickets, according to reporting from Cruise News Today.

The alleged incident occurred when a North American cruise passenger skipped out on the $2 bus fare while the ship was docked in Italy. As the bus conductor was coming around for a “spot ticket check,” the passenger allegedly shoved him, grabbed back his passport, and fled from the area.

Police were able to locate the passenger using a combination of nearby security footage and records from the cruise ship. The man was found by local police that same day and was charged with resisting arrest.

Videos and rumors have taken the internet by storm since June 29 when a father jumped overboard from his Disney Cruise after his child.

The incident — which happened as the ship was returning from the Bahamas to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale — has been covered by hundreds of news outlets and has been shared and liked thousands of times over online, but the public has continued to wrack their brains — how did this happen?

The girl, 5, was sitting on a railing on a fourth-floor deck around 11:30 a.m. while her parents played shuffleboard, authorities have since said. The child allegedly slipped backwards through a porthole and plummeted to the ocean below.
