Royal Caribbean Class Action Lawsuit Over Cruise Ship Worker Misconduct

Royal Caribbean is currently facing a class action lawsuit after a cruise ship worker was caught hiding cameras in guest bathrooms. The crewmember in question planted hidden cameras and recorded videos of guests in various stages of undress, leading to legal action against Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

The lawsuit was filed by a passenger who found a hidden camera under the sink in her cabin bathroom in February 2024. The crewmember responsible has since been sentenced to 30 years in prison. The lawsuit alleges that Royal Caribbean did not take sufficient security measures to prevent the invasion of privacy by the crewmember.

The lawsuit claims that the hidden camera captured images of guests, including minors, while they were undressed, and potentially disseminated these images. The crewmember admitted to hiding under guests’ beds to film them exiting the shower. Despite previous instances of sexual assault on Royal Caribbean cruises, the company allegedly did not warn passengers adequately.

The lawsuit seeks to represent passengers who stayed in cabins serviced by the crewmember between December 2023 and February 2024. It alleges that Royal Caribbean failed to notify all passengers who may have been affected by the hidden camera incidents.

Overall, the class action lawsuit against Royal Caribbean aims to hold the company accountable for the invasion of privacy experienced by guests on their cruises.
