The content of the emails exchanged between Royal Caribbean Cooperate Communication Director Michael Sheehan and Alan Wilson, editor of Cruise News Daily, proved to be quite interesting. The exchange went in part:

Here's our statement — sorry it's so late in the day!!
Royal Caribbean Statement
On February 23, 2006, a female guest on board Vision of the Seas alleged that a male crew member sexually assaulted her. Royal Caribbean immediately notified the FBI, provided medical assistance to the alleged victim, sealed the stateroom in question, and provided the FBI will all information requested. Royal Caribbean also assisted the alleged victim and her female traveling companion in departing the ship at the next port, as they requested.
On February 26, when docked in Los Angeles, 10 FBI agents boarded the ship and conducted a full investigation, including interviews of all parties involved and potential witnesses. Based on that investigation, no arrests were made and no one was charged with any crimes.
The company has also provided the alleged victim with additional requested information.

I want to put one more definitive nail in this story. Can you tell me when you received her request for the info and when you sent it to her? Her press release was dated Aug 8. I'd love for you to say you received the request on Aug 7.
Thanks
Alan

...I held up the story again. I realized I wanted something else from the FBI on dates too. I really want to nail this woman — and the ICV (International Cruise Victims).

Let's see what we can do tomorrow. If you don't hear from me first — call me by 11 a.m.
Interestingly enough, the newspaper's website does not appear to include a link in their news archives to the article in question.
