Another Suit Filed Against Miami-based Cruise Line In Cabin Cameras Case

A group of former cruise passengers has filed a new lawsuit against Miami-based Royal Caribbean Cruises stemming from the actions of a former cabin steward convicted of placing hidden cameras in guests' bathrooms , recording victims that included children as young as 2.

Coral Gables-based law firm Aronfeld Trial Lawyers filed the 30-page suit in Miami federal court on behalf of a dozen plaintiffs - hailing from Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Georgia - on Thursday. They publicly announced the suit Tuesday.

The firm says they're representing passengers who stayed in staterooms served by Arvin Joseph Mirasol, 34, on the Symphony of the Seas in late 2023 and early 2024. They're seeking monetary damages.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies arrested the Filipino national at Port Everglades in March and he later pleaded guilty to producing child sexual abuse material in federal court, earning him a 30-year prison sentence in August.

Their case is one of multiple suits filed against Royal Caribbean over the Mirasol case. In October, Local 10 News spoke with a Hawaii woman suing the company. She said it was a "crushing, devastating, terrifying feeling" to learn from a BSO detective that she was one of Mirasol's victims.
