    An Alamba mother and son are accused of slapping an older passenger onboard an MSC cruise ship before the latter was thrown off the boat in Jamaica for “excessive behavior,” according to a report.

    The duo, 49-year-old Kelli Lyn Ryan and her son Dylan Ryan, were allegedly caught on surveillance video striking the victim on Oct. 6 on the MSC cruise out of Miami, Local10 reported.

    Dylan was removed from the MSC Seascape cruise ship at the first port of call in Falmouth, Jamacia the next day over unspecified “excessive behavior,” according to authorities.
