Crew Member Sent to Prison for 30 Years [CRUISE NEWS]
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry. A former Royal Caribbean crew member, Arvin Joseph Marisol, received a thirty year federal prison sentence for installing hidden cameras in guest staterooms on the Symphony of the Seas. Marisol, a stateroom attendant, used the devices to record passengers in private bathrooms. The cameras were found by a guest, which prompted investigations by US Customs and Homeland Security. Marisol pleaded guilty to charges involving video voyeurism and underage photos. Royal Caribbean stated it is cooperating with authorities and condemned the actions. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line addressed passenger complaints regarding vaping restrictions. Brand ambassador John Heald clarified that smoking and vaping are only allowed in designated outdoor areas and specific parts of the onboard casino, noting that violations may result in fines or removal from the ship. Finally, the Norwegian Jade has arrived in Boston to begin its fall season. The vessel will offer roundtrip sailings to Canada and New England through late October before repositioning to Miami for winter cruises in the Caribbean and Bahamas. Other Norwegian ships operating in the Northeast include the Norwegian Gem, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Joy, and Norwegian Bliss.
