CARNIVAL FIGHT UPDATE: WE MAY KNOW THE SHIP
Remember that crazy cruise ship assault where an Ohio couple allegedly stormed into another family's cabin and attacked three people — including a 9-year-old? We may have finally figured out which ship they were on. Gannon Jacox and Brooklyn Hicks were arrested when their cruise returned to Port Canaveral on August 15. For almost two months, authorities refused to identify the cruise line or ship — but multiple passenger accounts are now pointing toward Carnival Cruise Line, and specifically Carnival Freedom. One passenger claims they confirmed with Carnival security that Jacox and Hicks were aboard Freedom's five-night cruise that returned to Port Canaveral on August 15. And the timeline matches: Carnival Freedom returned that morning, Hicks was booked into jail at 1:41 that afternoon, and the ship's next cruise didn't leave until later that day. Carnival and law enforcement still have NOT officially confirmed that this was Carnival Freedom, so consider this a strong passenger-sourced lead — not official confirmation. But right now, the evidence is definitely pointing in that direction.
