A passenger sailing on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas has been charged with three counts of video voyeurism following an incident that allegedly occurred aboard the ship on May 31, 2026. According to an affidavit from the Broward County Sheriff's Office, 25-year-old Matthew Stilwell of Pawnee, Illinois, is accused of using his cellphone to photograph beneath a teenage girl's dress while the two were inside one of the ship's onboard retail shops. The alleged victim was a 13-year-old girl.
Stilwell was taken into custody on June 7, 2026, and held at the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Broward County with bond set at $22,500, according to jail records cited by WPLG Local 10 News. Court records reviewed by USA Today did not list an attorney for Stilwell at the time of publication. Royal Caribbean has not publicly commented on the incident and did not immediately respond to a request for a statement from USA Today.
