Former Royal Caribbean Attendant Jailed in Broward Voyeurism Case
Court records list a June 15 change-of-plea hearing; the Broward case follows a February 2024 camera discovery beneath a stateroom sink.
Arvin Joseph Mirasol, a former Royal Caribbean Group stateroom attendant already sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for installing hidden cameras in guest bathrooms aboard Symphony of the Seas, has been booked into Broward County’s main jail to face nine local counts of digital voyeurism. Broward court records list a June 15 change-of-plea hearing for Mirasol, 36, who pleaded not guilty to the local charges in 2024.
The Broward case follows the February 2024 discovery of a hidden camera beneath a sink in a passenger-stateroom bathroom aboard Symphony of the Seas. Federal prosecutors said investigators later found videos involving children ages 2 to 17 on Mirasol’s electronic devices, along with footage showing him installing a camera in a guest bathroom.
Mirasol, a citizen of the Philippines, worked as a stateroom attendant aboard the Royal Caribbean Group-owned ship, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. He pleaded guilty in the federal case to producing child pornography. He was sentenced in August 2024.
Federal prosecutors said Mirasol had been placing cameras in passenger cabins since December 2023. The office also said he entered staterooms while guests were showering and hid under beds to record them as they came out of the bathroom.
The local digital voyeurism counts are separate from the federal child-pornography conviction. Mirasol was booked into Broward’s main jail Monday ahead of the scheduled change-of-plea proceeding.
