Cruising the high seas is often associated with relaxation, adventure, and luxury.
However, a recent cruise became a nightmare of misconduct and subsequent punishment for one Alabama family.
A mother and her son were involved in a scandalous incident that led to their ejection from a cruise ship.
Kelli Lyn Ryan, 49, and her son, Dylan Ryan, 23, from Huntsville, were accused of committing a reprehensible act against a senior citizen aboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship on October 6th.
The incident was captured on the ship's surveillance system and has since led to serious repercussions for the duo.
According to reports, the altercation occurred inside the ship's two-deck theatre around 9:30 pm.
The surveillance footage allegedly shows Kelli slapping the unidentified victim, who is over the age of 65, following an argument.
Dylan is also seen in the video striking the senior several times, as described by the ship's deputy chief of security.
When the incident occurred, the MSC Seascape, which was carrying nearly 6,000 passengers, was en route from Miami, Florida.
The gravity of the situation was such that Dylan was removed from the ship for 'excessive behaviour' as soon as it docked at its first port in Falmouth, Jamaica.
His mother, however, was allowed to remain on board as the cruise continued to the Grand Cayman Island, Mexico, and MSC Ocean Cay, the cruise line's private island in the Bahamas.
Upon the Seascape's return to Miami nearly a week later, Kelli was arrested and charged with battery on a person 65 or older.
Her current whereabouts are unknown, and she no longer appears to be in custody.
The incident has raised many eyebrows and questions among the public and on social media.
People speculate about the circumstances that led to the altercation, Dylan's fate after being left in Jamaica, and the decision to allow Kelli to continue the cruise without her son.
Cruise Law News, a social media page, highlighted the severity of the situation by questioning, 'Wow, how 'excessively' violent do you have to act for MSC security kick you off the cruise ship in a foreign port?'
Another user pointed out the seriousness of being left in a foreign country without resources, while others commented on the potential dangers of cruising on large ships.
