A cruise passenger was allegedly raped in the same Bahamas hotel that Margaritaville at Sea used in 2016, where there was evidence that another sexual assault occurred, according to a federal lawsuit. While docked in Freeport, Grand Bahama, the cruise line arranged for the victim to stay in a Freeport Wyndham because there were not any rooms available on the ship, WLFX Fox 29 reported . Upon leaving her room at night to get water, a hotel employee allegedly forced her "into the control room for the resort's theater, locked the door and then raped (her)," per the lawsuit.

"These are very sensitive issues," Perez told WFLX. "Once there's a reason to know the danger, you have to inform the passengers.
" The lawsuit says the cruise line did not warn women of the dangers in Freeport before booking the hotel room in August 2023. "Between 2018-19, the US State Department issued a travel warning for the Bahamas, specifically including Freeport, warning that violent crime, including sexual assault, is common," the lawsuit says, according WLFX. Margaritaville at Sea did not respond to the Daily Express US' request for comment.
