monctonguy Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 So while stumbling around the internet looking for pics and reviews and info about my upcoming cruise, I come across an IG account of an engineer on Mariner of the Seas. The first thing I notice on his profile is the saying...You cannot spell SLAUGHTER without LAUGHTER. (in capitals just like that) Hmm..interesting...so I take a look at his most recent post of him down in the engine room area with a smoke in his mouth and the caption is " When you've become disillusioned with life and everything you do seems not worthwhile." His social media account is littered with pic of guns, bullets and sayings like "Not enough bullets for all the assholes out there" and "Still wanna be the first on my block to get a confirmed kill" Pics of guns pointed saying "send nudes" and "Let bodies hit the floor" I am not saying that it means anything...but I have to admit..I am kinda surprised that this type of thing is posted. I don't think my employer would allow me to do this and it certainly is not professional and perhaps borderline needing some kinda help.... With todays society and social media everywhere...anyone else seen something like this...and how did id make you feel?.... bellemiche, cmcclelland and Lindsay 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLA Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Umm... that seems like something that should maybe be brought to Royal's attention. Martin-Lynda, bellemiche, cruiselife and 9 others 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiselife Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 This definitely concerns me and I hope you have already reported this to Royal Caribbean. If not please let me know who it is and I will report them today and provide screenshots of anything questionable in case he deletes it upon questioning. Either way let me know who it is and I will report him as well. The more people the report it the more seriously it will be taken. This guy needs to be removed from any cruise ships before he can hurt anyone. Too often we hear about all the signs that were present before attacks but nobody said anything. coneyraven, WhiteSoxFan, 2Mariner and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd W Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 If you haven't yet done so, i would bring it to Royal's attention immediately. I can't speak for you, but i wouldn't want to have seen this type of stuff and do nothing about it and find out afterwards something horrible could have been possibly avoided. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctonguy Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yeah....seems a little off to say the least.....I would feel a little uneasy if I was on the ship and discovered this i would think. I am not even sure who or where I should/would send this info, but I know that if anything ever happened and then people looked back on his social media and saw it..they would wonder why nobody did or said something I am sure. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Babe Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I bet if you called Royal Caribbean Corporate Headquarters, there has to be a Security Department. Perhaps @Matt knows. I wouldn't call reservations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just now, monctonguy said: I am not even sure who or where I should/would send this info I would say to send it to Greg Purdy, who is SVP of Marine Operations, but his profile page doesn't give an email address. Same with Richard Fain, who should probably be made aware. Maybe call the regular 800 number, try to get through immediately to a supervisor, then their supervisor, and so on until you can get an email for their security division, Purdy, and Fain. Don't give details beyond you need to raise a possible security issue due to some material you saw on social media related to Royal Caribbean, lest you inadvertently speak to someone who knows that individual and could tip them off. And as others here said, take screen shots so you have permanent evidence in case the pics are taken down. LadyB and monctonguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 If you give us his handle maybe a few of us can alert who ever we find to alert....so it wouldn't just be you and there would be a bigger chance of getting the right person. Thank you for posting this. We all need to be responsible and this is a great community here - if not we'd all just be communicating how crappy this is. coneyraven and cruiselife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxFan Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 The corporate security web page offers up a security guide contact list but it is the FBI & USCG that they refer to. http://media.royalcaribbean.com/content/en_US/pdf/Security_Guide.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctonguy Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thanks everyone..I have been in touch with the Global security and Investigations Operations for Royal......they had asked me not to say anything further at this point as they look into this. I certainly don't want to get any one in trouble but at the very least, even if this is all innocent speak on social media, it certainly doesn't make Royal look good...and it could be potentially much worse.

Rational and sane people do not say things like that repeatedly. Nothing about saying you want to kill people is innocent. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of people who do end up carrying out those actions posted similar things to their own social media accounts. You did the right thing.

twangster Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 A call to RCMP/CSIS wouldn't hurt. They know how to engage the appropriate agency on the other side of the border. One concern with calling RC is that only represent RC's interests. They won't likely get this guy on any radar screens of any government agency where he appears to belong.

Todd W Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 totall agree with @twangster. obviously Royal wants to keep it under wraps. At the end of the day, the OP won't get a thing from Royal for reporting this so they certainly won't lose anything by continuing to press the issue outside of their bubble. if anything, if this "leaks" out, than it will force their hand to ensure they have proper cyber-monitoring in place for this sort of thing going forward. pictures or it didn't happen.... cruiselife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdtrex Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I can see this being a lot more benign than it appears. Most of what you mentioned can be traced back to music (lyrics or album title) and memes. That being said, I can where it could be alarming and I wouldn’t want my business being connected to those post. You did the right thing just bringing it to royals attention. Better safe than sorry. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monctonguy Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 ha...I doubt that and didn't do it for that.....although if I somehow stopped some big event from happening I guess it would be nice to receive some kinda acknowledgment....but at the end of the day.....I would rather feel safe than anything I guess! And it is prob nothing at all...so I doubt I'll hear anything else at this point..but who knows. I did take screen shots of at least 4-5 of his different posts and they said if they needed anything else they would be in touch but they have/see everything that I saw.

mworkman Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I would have alerted the FBI, as they have jurisdiction and can coordinate with the Coast Guards while in U.S. coastal waters, if not in U.S. Coastal waters the FBI can escalate it up to the next port of entry authorities and have him detained until an investigation is completed.
