Royal Caribbean Faces Lawsuits After Ex-Employee Secretly Filmed Passengers

Former cruise line worker sentenced to 30 years for hidden camera recordings; hundreds of victims, including children, may still be unaware.

Arvin Joseph Mirasol, a former Royal Caribbean stateroom attendant, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for producing child pornography using hidden cameras on the Symphony of the Seas.
Mirasol admitted to planting cameras in passenger bathrooms and hiding under beds to secretly film guests, including children as young as 2 years old, in various stages of undress.
Investigators discovered hundreds of illicit videos on Mirasol’s devices, some of which were allegedly uploaded to the internet, including the dark web.
A dozen passengers, including minors, have filed a lawsuit against Royal Caribbean, alleging the company failed to adequately screen employees and protect passengers' privacy.
Legal experts suggest that up to 960 passengers may have been unknowingly recorded during Mirasol’s employment, with many still unaware of their victimization.
