Key Aspects:
- Six cruise guests were arrested at Port Canaveral from Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8.
- None of the arrests were related and the guests were associated with five different cruise ships.
- Charges range from grand theft auto to outstanding warrants to credit card fraud and other crimes.
Port Canaveral was busy from Friday, November 6, 2026 through Sunday, November 8, and not only because of the 14 different ships in port over the three days. According to a local report from the Brevard Beacon, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office arrested six cruise guests from five of those ships, for a variety of charges and outstanding warrants.
Just one guest was arrested on Friday: 33-year-old Casey Fenelon of Griffin, Georgia. Fenelon has an out-of-county warrant for grand theft auto. On Friday, he was arrested at Cruise Terminal 3, where Carnival Glory was docked. The ship had just finished a 4-night itinerary and was departing later that day on a 3-night sailing.
According to booking details, Fenelon is being held at the Brevard County Jail without bond and is scheduled to appear before Judge Jonathan Skinner on Monday, November 16.
Saturday, November 7 was also a one-arrest day, with Curtis Lee Ravenscraft of Jacksonville, Florida also arrested at Cruise Terminal 3, where Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras was docked between 7-night sailings. The 42-year-old Ravenscraft also has an out-of-county warrant, though the charges have not been disclosed.
Ravenscraft is now being held without bond at the Brevard County Jail, also to appear before Judge Jonathan Skinner on Monday.
Four Arrests on Sunday
Four arrests were made on Sunday, November 8, 2026 from three cruise ships. The first two were at Cruise Terminal 6, where Carnival Vista was docked after finishing an 8-night sailing and before departing on a 6-night itinerary.
Jarvis Sweet and Jose Gonzalez-Reimundi were arrested separately and there is no connection between their charges. The 46-year-old Sweet of Lakeland, Florida, was arrested for contempt of court and violation of a restraining order related to domestic violence. Sweet is being held without bond and will appear before Judge Skinner on Tuesday, November 17.
The 36-year-old Gonzalez-Reimundi of Port St. Lucie, Florida, was arrested for tax fraud and two counts of failing to file a tax return. He was released the next day on a $25,000 bond.
One cruise guest, John Stanley, was arrested at Cruise Terminal 10 as MSC Seashore was finishing a 3-night Bahamas cruise and ready to begin a 4-night sailing. The 63-year-old Stanley of Bainbridge, Georgia, was arrested as an out-of-state fugitive related to a felony charge of fraudulent use of a credit card. He is currently being held without bond and is scheduled to appear before Judge Benjamin Garagozlo on Tuesday, November 24.
Finally, David Cuevas, Jr. of Hanover, Maryland, was arrested at Cruise Terminal 5 while Norwegian Prima was finishing a 7-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary and set to begin her last roundtrip sailing from Port Canaveral for the season, a 4-night Bahamas cruise.
The 44-year-old Cuevas has an out-of-county warrant for failing to appear on a battery charge. He has a bond of $4,013 set but has not been released and there is no court date set.
All arrested parties are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office is diligent about working with port and cruise line authorities and has made multiple arrests on other dates. On Friday, July 17, 2026, for example, six cruise ship guests were arrested at Port Canaveral for a range of charges.
No information is available about whether the guests arrested between November 6 and 8 were attempting to depart on cruises or returning from their vacations, and no cruise lines have commented publicly on these arrests.
Ships from Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, and Celebrity Cruises, as well as additional ships from both Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line, were also at Port Canaveral during the same period but did not have any of their guests arrested at the port.
