Jingerwoppy Posted March 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Looks like a magician was performing on a Royal Caribbean ship and was attacked by an unruly passenger. Didn't see the ship's name in the article but it looks like it's out of Australia. "As a world-class magician, Ben Murphy (@thebenmurphy_) is used to surprising his audience with impressive tricks and illusions that leave them on the edge of their seats. But during a recent performance on a Royal Caribbean cruise, audience members weren’t the only ones left in shock during his act — so was Murphy when an unruly passenger allegedly assaulted him onstage."

acuprulez Posted March 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Worst part was is that the attacker was not escorted off at the next port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big error on Royals part. Violence should always have consequences. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairebearinaus Posted March 15, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I was always under the impression that cruise lines had zero tolerance for violence and aggression. It's really disappointing to see that happen, in full view of plenty of witnesses, with no repercussions for the perpetrator. I'm glad the magician has gone public. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IonImplantTech Posted March 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Looks like he was attacked by either a husband or boyfriend. Obviously a very insecure individual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted March 15, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm sure he is paying the price from his wife or girlfriend. When I watched video the other day looked like she was hollering for him to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted March 15, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 15, 2023 How did they not put this guy off the ship at the next port? How did they not get statements from witnesses immediately after the incident, including the magician? It seems like this was handled horribly by the cruise line. 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace2542 Posted March 24, 2023 #25 Share Posted March 24, 2023 He has to be banned for life from the entire Royal group so celeb and Azamara as well? Why does not Royal not handle unruly passengers well? Does someone have to get killed before they willl? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
