Man jailed for dealing drugs on gay cruise
A California man has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for dealing drugs to fellow passengers on Allure of the Seas.
Steven Barry Krumholz pleaded guilty to the charges in July at a court in the US Virgin Islands.
According to a report on USAToday, he had been arrested in February when the 5,400-passenger ship docked in St. Thomas.
The Allure of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship, was at the time chartered by Atlantis Events on a sailing billed as the world's largest gay cruise.
In his cabin police found more than 142 ecstasy pills, methamphetamine, a small amount of ketamine, and about $51,000 in cash.
Royal Caribbean said it fully cooperated with authorities during the investigation.
