A man taking a vacation on a cruise was left severely burned after walking on the ship’s deck, he claims in a $6 million lawsuit against Celebriary X Cruise lines.

The 66-year-old suffers from neuropathy-induced nerve damage in his feet and used a golf cart to get around the ship. “It was very hot, so I went off the ship and went right back on again,” he recalled to the Post. “I decided, ‘I’m going swimming.’ ”

Mizel, who his lawyer, Michael Goldman, claims “had no idea” how hot the deck was because of his medical condition, was quickly taken to the ship’s doctor.

Because of the extent of his injuries, Mizel was offered a flight to shore by the cruise line, but he refused. Mizel said he did not want to ruin the trip for his wife and friends, according to the Post.

Since the cruise, Mizel has been hospitalized and suffered infections. At one point, doctors considered amputating part of his lower leg, he told the Post.

Mizel, who still works, is now suing the cruise liner for damages and feels they should have warned guests about the deck’s temperature.

“There was no way to think it would be that hot,” he said to the Post. “As a matter of fact I took off a pair of shoes and left them in the cart to go to the pool. If they had just given a hint that it was that hot…”
