November 10, 2026 — U.S. Customs and Border Protection has removed a Disney Destiny crew member from the United States after an assault on another crew member while the ship was docked at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Cruise Hive reported today.
What happened
In a Facebook post on the evening of Friday, November 6, CBP’s Miami and Tampa field office said officers responded to a report of a crew-on-crew assault on board, and that the person identified as the aggressor “had their crew visa cancelled” and was removed. The date of the incident, the date of removal and the crew member’s identity and role were not disclosed. Before the post, the 4,000-guest ship’s most recent cruise was a four-night Bahamas sailing from Fort Lauderdale (October 29 to November 2) calling at Nassau and Castaway Cay.
No delays, itinerary changes or guest impacts were reported. Cruise Hive noted earlier crew removals this year — from Disney Magic in San Diego in April, and from Norwegian Breakaway and Volendam in Boston in August — but did not say whether this case is connected.
What it means for airline travelers
- No sailings, ports or schedules have changed; booked guests do not need to adjust plans.
- Disney Destiny sails from Port Everglades, a short ride from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL); Miami International (MIA) is the backup airport.
- Non-revs: having both FLL and MIA within reach gives you two standby options to the same pier — useful on busy Bahamas embarkation days.
- No change to interline or travel-industry rates was mentioned.
