A party aboard the cruise ship "The Temptress" turned deadly early Saturday morning as five men were injured in a brawl. Witnesses said that there was a minor dispute within the party of 400 as they boarded the boat at 12:30 a.m., but it cooled down after everybody started drinking. But as they disembarked at 4 a.m., another fight broke out, this time with weapons. One ship employee told the Daily News, "I think [it was] a fight about a girlfriend. But it just sounded like drunk stupid stuff." The five wounded men are expected to survive, and police have three men in custody. Last August, a man was killed after attending a party cruise at the South Street Seaport.
