Royal Caribbean is facing legal trouble after passengers filed a lawsuit over hidden cameras placed in state rooms by a former employee.
That employee, Arvin Mirasol, has since been fired and is now serving prison time but passengers say the cruise line could have done more to protect them.A photo shared by the Lipcon, Margulies, & Winkleman law firm appears to show a camera tucked underneath a sink inside a state room aboard Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas. According to a class action lawsuit filed Tuesday in Miami’s federal court, it was one of the devices used by Mirasol to secretly record passengers.
“This is already a known industry problem and not just hidden cameras being an issue and it’s happened on virtually every other cruise line but also rapes and sexual assaults at sea,” said Michael Winkleman. “I think Royal Caribbean had a moral obligation to notify all the passengers that likely could’ve been affected they didn’t do that, now the notice is out there,” said Winkleman.“It’s more about getting the word out there because Royal Caribbean is not,” said the woman.
