However, the crew members say they have been working cleaning and cooking since that time without getting paid, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami federal court on Tuesday.
In the lawsuit, the crew members claim that that they are engaging in “forced labor,” in addition to other claims against the cruise line of delaying repatriating crew to save on expenses, failing to pay the guaranteed two-months’ severance, and making crew members sign misleading agreements to terminate their employment contracts.
