Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:20 GMT

A vacation promoter being sued by the Miami Dolphins over a complaint-ridden “fan cruise” says he wants an opportunity to organize a second cruise and “make everything right.”“This should have been a long-term partnership,” said Jeffrey Nahom, president of Boca Raton-based First Class Cruises, the Dolphins’ partner in what was to be a three-year contract to run fan cruises in 2023, 2024 and 2025. “I still think we can somehow salvage this because a lawsuit doesn’t do anyone any good.”Instead of planning for next year’s fan cruise, Nahom and his company are defendants in a federal lawsuit filed on April 21 by the Miami Dolphins.The suit was filed 11 days after the return of a seven-day cruise aboard MSC Seascape that was promoted as a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Fins fans to meet and mingle with 35 legendary players including Dan Marino, Larry Csonka, Mark Clayton and O.J. McDuffie. The suit seeks to recover nearly $...
