On February 1, 2026, law enforcement at PortMiami arrested nine men who were attempting to board Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas for a chartered "Atlantis Events" cruise. The incident gained significant attention because the ship was hosting what is billed as the "world's largest gay festival at sea." Key Details of the Incident • Location: Terminal A, PortMiami. • The Bust: During routine embarkation screening, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) drug-sniffing dogs flagged several pieces of luggage. • The Substances: Authorities recovered a variety of narcotics, including: • Methamphetamine (approx. 47 grams total) • MDMA / Ecstasy (approx. 35 grams total) • Ketamine (approx. 24 grams total) • GBL (a GHB precursor, approx. 80 grams found in one passenger's bag) • LSD and Cocaine were also mentioned in broader reports. The Individuals Involved While nine were arrested in total, five were specifically named in early court records and local news reports (WPLG and The Advocate): 1. Joshua S. Eddy (41) – West Hollywood, CA 2. Brad R. Kloha (41) – Nashville, TN 3. Adam Jones (49) – Atlanta, GA 4. Hoi Le (51) – San Francisco, CA 5. Joshua Lee Jenkins (39) – Tacoma, WA Legal Status The cases were referred to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Interdiction Squad because the quantities, while significant, did not meet the federal threshold for prosecution. • Charges: Most face felony counts of Drug Trafficking (specifically for MDMA/Ecstasy) and Possession of a Controlled Substance. • Bail: Bonds were generally set between $5,000 and $7,000, though some individuals were released on their own recognizance.
