Mother and Son Kicked Off Cruise Ship After Disgusting Act Caught on Surveillance Video

An Alabama mother-son duo was kicked off a cruise ship after the pair were allegedly filmed engaging in a vile act with an elderly passenger.

Kelli Lyn Ryan, 49, and her son, Dylan Ryan, 23, of Huntsville, were accused of giving an “open hand” slap to another passenger believed to be over the age of 65 on the MSC Seascape cruise out of Miami, Florida.

Surveillance footage obtained by police showed Kelli slapping the elderly victim, whose identity remains unknown, inside the ship’s two-story theater after an argument broke out at around 9:30 pm on October 6.

His son was also seen on video hitting the elderly victim several times, the ship’s deputy chief of security told police, according to Local10.

Dylan was kicked off the nearly 6,000-passenger boat for “excessive behavior” after the cruise stopped at its first port in Falmouth, Jamaica, police reports reveal.

Dylan was kicked off the nearly 6,000-passenger boat the day after the altercation for “excessive behavior” when the cruise stopped at its first port in Falmouth, Jamaica, police reports reveal.

However, the 23-year-old’s mother was allowed to remain on the ship while it made stops at Grand Cayman Island in Mexico and MSC Ocean Cay – the cruise company’s private island in the Bahamas.

Nearly a week after her son was kicked out of a seaside vacation, Kelli was arrested and charged with assault on a person 65 years of age or older when the Seascape ship finally returned to the port of Miami.

As of Monday, the 49-year-old no longer appeared in the jail’s online database, Local10 reported.

Any details regarding the subject of the alleged altercation have not yet been released.

MSC Cruises has also not publicly released a statement regarding the incident.

Viewers took to social media in the days following the incident to speculate what may have happened to the 23-year-old who was left in Jamaica, as well as why his mother may have been left without her son.

‘Wow, how “excessively” violent do you have to act for MSC security to actually kick you off the cruise ship in a foreign port?’ Cruise Law News posted on Facebook.

“Being abandoned in Jamaica with no resources is no joke either,” added another user.

With another response: ‘Sailing these big ships is dangerous, on many levels.’

Expulsion of passengers from cruise ships is considered a relatively rare occurrence, typically only happening when there are serious behavioral problems or serious medical conditions.
