• Seven members of the “Cx group” live streamers were removed from Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas after multiple incidents.
• The initial removal involved two members who were detained for a physical fight on the pool deck that was live streamed.
• The subsequent removal of five other members was due to passenger complaints regarding harassment in an elevator and disturbing guests by asking about upside down pineapple symbols.
• The removed individuals had to cover the costs of their transportation to the nearest airport and their flights home.

A group of seven live streamers, known as the “Cx group” and led by streamer Ice Poseidon, were removed from the Royal Caribbean ship Harmony of the Seas following multiple onboard incidents during their 7-night Western Caribbean cruise. The group’s practice of live broadcasting their activities on Kick.com contributed to the disruptions.

The initial incident involved a physical fight on the pool deck between two members, David Ryan and Dave Willis, reportedly over an escalating joke. This fight was live streamed, resulting in the immediate detention and removal of those two individuals at the next port of call, Roatan, Honduras.

The following morning, five additional group members, including Ice Poseidon, were asked by ship staff to leave the cruise early. Their removal stemmed from a combination of prior passenger complaints, including harassment in an elevator while live recording, and a widely shared incident where a group member verbally abused a family for requesting he sit down while recording a show. The group also reportedly harassed passengers by knocking on doors displaying “upside down pineapple” symbols, asking if they were interested in swinging.

The removed streamers were forced to pay for an expensive taxi ride to the nearest airport in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and secure their own flights home at their own expense. Ice Poseidon later claimed his removal was due to passengers simply complaining about the camera, despite his denial of causing any significant nuisance after the first day. The ship’s security team informed him that guests complained of feeling intimidated.
