Gay takeover of Royal Caribbean mega-cruise in turmoil as multiple passengers arrested in drugs bust
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 8, 2026 | Elliot Force

Posted on 02/09/2026 12:48:08 AM PST by Morgana

Five men were arrested in Miami last week after allegedly attempting to bring drugs aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise marketed towards gay people.

The men are facing a variety of possession and trafficking charges after trained dogs alerted to their bags as they tried to board the Symphony of the Seas for what Royal Caribbean touts as 'The World’s Biggest Gay Festival at Sea.'

After the dogs alerted, US Customs and Border Patrol officers searched the men's bags and persons. They found containers of pills and clear liquids that tested positive for methamphetamine, ketamine, MDMA and GBL.

The names of the men are Joshua Jenkins, 39, Brad Kloha, 41, Joshua Eddy, 41, Adam Jones, 49, and Hoi Le, 51.

The men were taken into custody by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office on February 1 and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center near Doral.

Eddy was found to have the most drugs and is facing the most serious charges.

Border Patrol officers discovered 'several bags' of pills and liquid that tested positive for 19.3 grams of MDMA, 3.4 grams of ketamine, 7.55 grams of meth and 80 grams of GBL.

GBL is a popular drug in the gay community's party scene. The body breaks it down into GHB, which is a chemical classified as a central nervous system depressant and causes euphoria, disinhibition and increased libido. GHB is sometimes referred to as a 'date rape' drug because it can cause drowsiness, but it is also used recreationally with consent.

Eddy was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of trafficking MDMA. His bond was set at $7,000.

No such thing as a poop deck on a cruise ship?

Oh, yes, there is...

“Check with your cruise line before you book that you arent the next people in a cabin after one of these cruises. Its a floating cesspool”

No cruise line will release this type of information. Nor will they identify specific cruise/ships that have large groups of gays aboard.

Only way to blunt the feelings of self loathing and confusion.

As are you!! Are you still cruising with your new companion?

My sis and her hubby are taking a 50-day round-trip cruise out of Fort Lauderdale this year. Wish we could go along, but I think the ship filled quickly. Might keep checking.

Must renew passports SOON!

Why do they need to take those drugs if gay sex is enjoyable by itself? 🤔

Makes you really wonder?

Of course they do! They cook every statistic they can to make Americans believe we are all depraved. I was citing some studies that showed that 23% of high school students identified as trans. They want to suppress conservative turn out in elections and promote their abominable lifestyles in any way they can!

these idiots should have waited to load up until the boat touched down at the first drug-friendly port ...

on an unrelated matter, i wouldn’t want to cruise on that boat until the whole thing was steam cleaned and fumigated ...

Yes they do. However if you’re up on the smoking deck, you can smell it. They’re getting it past the dogs.

He gets hit on a lot, always pretends to regret telling her/him that he has a steady relationship but does so with a smile...

He's safe behind the bar. As a floor waiter he would have to deal with the crotch groping.

Royal Caribbean keeps taking body blow after body blow. Its one of the cruise lines that gets tagged with low class blacks going wild on it. Now its the gay drug cruise line. Low rent all the way.

Smoking cigarettes or cigars is allowed on cruise ships but restricted to only one area on one of the outside decks.
Dogs don’t matter with tobacco.
