FYI FBI is looking for anyone who may have been effected by the passenger filming people in the bathroom on Harmony of the Seas April 30th/May 1st.

This is awful, but it happens on land too.

I’m glad you posted it to the roll call for that voyage as well.

Yeah just trying to make sure they see it incase they used that restroom during that time.  Looks like that roll call wasn't used very much :(

too bad he didnt get caught (and thrown overboard) when it happened. What a sick F'er!

I think the point of posting it here was trying to alert potential victims (and possible minor family members), since it sounds like law enforcement has very specific details.
 

Not to insult cruising.

OMG!!!! I was on that cruise. Thanks, OP for posting. After reading the article, I was never in the restroom described.

Man a cruise ship is one of the last places I would want to see most of its customers naked. Swim suits are bad enough! 

[HappyTexan44]

I'm not sure I'd want to put forward my name if I'd been on a video like that.   It seems like even more of a violation for someone to later view the images (which will happen) WHILE knowing that that particular image was me.  
At least Royal handled it better than Carnival.  

 

I used to do a hidden camera search of hotel rooms when I first got there.   Then I started to do a bedbug search and I guess I forgot the hidden camera search.   Need to remember to do both.

This makes me very angry. I remember this particular bathroom, and a lot of kids use it after the flowrider. 

[crewsweeper]

What a fool and a perv.   Glad someone found this and the perp was caught while on board. Hopefully before he could post anything on social media.

I think he probably viewed some.  I would guess it was for his own gratification and maybe sharing with other liked minded individuals.  

 

Is he still in San Juan?

this is why cabins need to be cleaned 2x a day.....😉

Camera was in  a public restroom.  Not a cabin..  How can a passenger access the bathroom of someone else's cabin and place a camera there while still on board.  And then how does that person retrieve the camera once the cabin guest departs?

Thinking the cabin comment is sarcasm....

I can't tell you how I feel about people like this or what I'd like to do with them as I'd be kicked off the board.  I can tell you that having investigated some cases like this and child abuse, spousal abuse, child trafficking, and so on, I wish nothing but the worst for those perpetrators.

Correct.  Just trying to make sure whomever used that restroom knew so they can contact the FBI.

Someone on reddit said they were on that cruise and he was arrested onboard and removed in Puerto Rico

I went looking for what the latest is on looking for hidden cameras.   
This is pretty interesting.

ETA: I wonder what the range is on the call phone apps?    I just now downloaded one of the free ones, and even with my phone just held in front of me it found "2 suspicious devices" and then wanted me to pay money to get more info.  The two devices are my webcam and my laptop, so that is a good test.  If the app found cameras in the hallway, that would be annoying.

I was just kidding because of the posts about 1x a day cleaning.  To be honest, I did not read the whole article.  It has to be a pretty pathetic individual to stoop to this level of debauchery.

Reading between the lines, I suspect the FBI is mostly concerned with child exploitation materials. Meaning, minors who might have been caught on the camera.
