Nineteen passengers, including four minors, who were on board Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, have filed a lawsuit against the cruise line and a former employee for placing hidden cameras in their guest rooms. The former employee, Arvin Joseph Mirasol, a citizen of the Philippines, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.
The passengers, mostly American citizens from various states such as New York, Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas, along with some from Canada, were victims of this invasion of privacy. The lawsuit alleges that Mirasol placed hidden cameras in passenger cabin bathrooms without their knowledge, capturing images of them undressed and engaging in private activities.
