A fight broke out between several men in the early hours of Sunday morning on the P&O ship as they waited in line to use a bathroom.

"Security separated the men and they were detained." The ship, which was reportedly on a three-day "Comedy Cruise Gala" voyage in Australian waters, steamed back to Sydney where six men and the woman were removed and met by police.

She was granted bail to appear in a Sydney court on March 9.
