Royal Caribbean is facing a lawsuit after passengers discovered hidden cameras placed in state rooms by a former employee, Arvin Mirasol. Mirasol is now serving prison time for secretly recording passengers, including videos of naked females undressing and child pornography. The cruise line is being accused of not doing enough to protect passengers and failing to notify those who may have been affected. The lawsuit, filed in Miami’s federal court, covers a time frame when Mirasol worked aboard the Symphony of the Seas and focuses on the violation of privacy and safety of passengers. Attorney Michael Winkleman, representing the plaintiffs, believes there could be upwards of a thousand people affected by this incident. Royal Caribbean has stated that they have a zero-tolerance policy for this behavior and have reported the case to law enforcement, but due to pending litigation, they cannot comment further. The plaintiff in the case is experiencing anxiety and worry as a result of the violation, and Winkleman is advocating for a change in the law to require cruise lines to notify passengers if they have been potential victims of video voyeurism. The lawsuit aims to shed light on this issue and seek justice for those affected by Mirasol’s actions.
