A Caribbean holiday aboard Harmony of the Seas took an unexpected turn this week after two internet personalities were removed from the Royal Caribbean ship following a fight on deck.
The altercation – which was captured on video and widely shared online – took place on 4th November as the vessel sailed from Galveston, Texas, towards Roatán, Honduras, during a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary.
Several Incidents Onboard
According to multiple social media posts, the confrontation involved two livestreamers known online as Chicken Andy (real name David Ryan) and BlackAssDave (Dave Willis), both of whom were participating in a themed “streamer cruise” organised by content creator Ice Poseidon.
Footage from the ship’s outdoor smoking area shows the pair arguing before the dispute escalates into a brief but physical scuffle, while other passengers can be heard urging them to stop.
One Reddit user remarked that “they picked the wrong cruise for that – Royal Caribbean is a family line”.

Passengers writing online said the two men had already been warned by ship security for earlier disturbances during the voyage.
One commenter summarised that the group had “two strikes in two days” and that “some of them even had their alcohol cut off before talking their way back into it”.
Swift Consequences
After the fight, both men were detained by security, with Ryan reportedly spending time in the ship’s small holding area – often referred to by cruisers as the “brig” – before the pair were disembarked in Roatán on Wednesday.
They were left to make their own travel arrangements home.
The disagreement is said to have begun over another streamer, known as JJ, and who deserved credit for helping him gain popularity online. “It was just words at first,” one passenger wrote, “then one slapped the camera out of the other’s hand and that was it.”
A separate video filmed earlier in the voyage shows Willis arguing with other guests in the ship’s Studio B venue after blocking their view while filming – a moment that some passengers say foreshadowed later tensions.

Friends Once More?
A video later shared by Ice Posiedon, the host of the event, shows Ryan and Willis ashore in Honduras as the ship is boarding guests to leave.

During that video, they comment on how the girlfriend of one of the two is remaining onboard the ship, and that it appear Ryan and Willis had made up and were friends now.
Royal Caribbean has not publicly commented on the incident.
The Harmony of the Seas, one of the world’s largest cruise ships, carries over 6,000 guests and features amenities including water slides, a zip line and a full theatre.
The company’s code of conduct prohibits violence or disruptive behaviour, with offenders subject to removal at the next port of call.
As one Reddit user put it after the fight: “The cruise line won – both got kicked off with no refund.”
