More details have been revealed over what caused a brawl to erupt between dozens of passengers onboard a cruise ship that was returning to New York.
A travel agent who was witness to the fracas told Fox News that the punch-up began over allegations of cheating - in particular, an alleged threesome between passengers which then upset their respective partners.
Video of the fracas depicted a chaotic scene as between 40 and 60 passengers began punching and shoving one another.
Although the initial disagreement was between two passengers on the nightclub dance floor, it quickly spiraled out of control with more and more people piling in.
The fight occurred on the final night of the ship's eight-day Caribbean cruise with stops in Dominicana, Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas.
Theresa James said the fight started just before 2am and lasted for about one hour in an area where the ship's nightclub and casino were located.
Bottles were smashed and a woman was also cut in the melee, although no serious injuries were reported.
The fight ended up moving around the ship from the fifth floor down towards the first floor, all the while a couple of ship security guards attempted to break up the fight where they could, however they were vastly outnumbered.
It prompted the Coast Guard to escort the ship back to dock and the NYPD to open a probe.
