Cruise employee uses her job to rob passengers homes!

Here's a story out of Florida that's NOT cool.   A former Royal Caribbean Cruise Line employee has been arrested and charged with burglarizing the homes of 24 vacationers who were spending time at sea.   The police say the woman used her job at Royal Caribbean to find out which local passengers were aboard the ship then her and her dirtbag husband broke into their homes looting all they could.

The sheriff's office says Royal Caribbean has fully cooperated with the investigation.  The cruise line said in its statement, "We regret this incident occurred and hope it does not overshadow the excellent work our more than 40,000 Royal Caribbean employees do every day to provide our guests with memorable and outstanding cruise vacation experiences."
