Royal Caribbean International has been ordered to hand over more money to a Sydney tradie, who won almost $100,000 from the cruise line after being detained on false rape allegations.
Daniel Rawlings was awarded $97,394 from the cruise line in December, after crew on board
Explorer of the Seas detained him for six days when a woman he had had a threesome with accused him of sexual assault.
The incident occurred in 2016 and stemmed from one of the threesome’s participants, known as Ms A, was found wandering around the ship naked and disorientated.
Rawlings had booked the 10-day cruise from Sydney to Vanuatu with his friend Matthew Champion, but spent the majority of his time locked in an isolated cabin.
