Jorge Luis Alverio Nunez has initiated a $5 million lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Line, claiming he suffered severe second-degree burns on the Lido deck of the Carnival Magic in May 2025. According to the lawsuit filed in federal court in South Florida, Nunez was walking barefoot about 20 steps from the pool to his lounge chair when he experienced the burns. The complaint argues that while passengers expect warm deck surfaces, they should not anticipate temperatures that can cause severe burns within seconds. Nunez's suit alleges that Carnival neglected to provide adequate warnings about the hot deck and allowed it to remain in a hazardous condition. Furthermore, it claims that Nunez is not the only victim, citing at least 25 other passengers who reported similar injuries on Carnival ships from 2019 to 2025. The lawsuit also highlights that Carnival was aware of the risks associated with the deck material used, which has been criticized for its heat retention. Nunez seeks damages exceeding $5 million and has requested a jury trial. This lawsuit follows another case where Carnival was ordered to pay $300,000 for negligence related to alcohol service.
