Stephanie Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I just want to throw in my "thank you" for reporting this as well. In today's world - someone who works in the engine room on a large passenger cruise ship .... definitely scary & you definitely did the right thing! monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I doubt that Royal Caribbean will get back to you due to privacy concerns. They guy obviously needs help. You did the right think even if you don’t hear back though monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 If you don’t get some follow up in a timely manner I am going to Miami headquarters & will talk directly w/ the security department. This cannot be taken lightly. cruiselife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdixon22 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Even if he is trying to get attention or be funny, which this is not, I would hope RCL would be concern he is smoking in the engine room with all the flammable liquids around him. A fire in the bottom of a large ship in the middle of the ocean is not good. Thanks for saying something! monctonguy and 2Mariner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VACruiser Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 With all that is going in the world normal people don't make jokes like that anymore. Only someone with strange fantasies makes statements like his. He may say he is joking but he has the capability to do something bad if given the opportunity. He may not have the "balls" to do anything, but someone like that has a trigger that will light a fuse that will only end badly. Good on you for reporting it. monctonguy and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late to join the conversation in this one, but I think this point is what makes this whole thing really disturbing. You have someone here who is in the perfect position and has ample opportunity to do a whole lot of harm. Hubby and I just had a conversation last cruise about how safe ships really are... I personally wouldn't even feel assured by just leaving it with Royal. They, of course, will look out for their own interests first. I agree with some of the others to alert even a higher level of authority. And @monctonguy thank you for reporting it. Hopefully you hear something back from them and not just swept under the rug. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently @ RC in Miami and I’m headed in to make sure this gets follow up. This is extremely disturbing and I agree that reporting it is not enough. I will not leave until this is resolved. If OP released the Instagram handle this person could at least be exposed. I’m sure our local paper (Sun Sentinal or MH) would like to know about this... cruiselife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I am sure they are/will..I was told that they co-ordinate with the major different levels of US and world wide security. So I have no doubts this will be looked into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to protect this person's privacy if they are really posting things like that. When you post something publicly on the internet you obviously aren't expecting privacy...

tonyfsu21 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 “Asked that you not say anything further at this point so that they can investigate” seems to me like they are a bit worried where this info will get leaked. One way to resolve this issue is to release the Instagram user info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything happens RC is now on the line for it if they did not report it. There is online proof (by this thread) that they were made aware.

monctonguy Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Nothing to be worried about after all that...he is not associated with Mariner of the Seas...he is simply a "Mariner" of the seas...hence why his pics and hashtags showed up under searches for Royal's Mariner of the seas...... Good to know that Royal looked into this so quickly and followed up with me and good to knows he's not working on a Royal ship..whoever he is!

It's good to know he's not on any Royal ship, but this is still a disturbed individual and the matter definitely needs follow-up by the authorities. Did Royal indicate if it's at least been relayed to police / FBI / RMP / etc? If not, probably should notify one of those parties. This is still an individual who needs help and possibly intervention before he does something drastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still seems like there are probably interested authorities who would maybe want to have a word with this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
