A cruise ship passenger claims that he wasn’t given a chance to argue his case when he was kicked off of the boat and left to figure out how he was going to get home.

Robert and Esther Gaines claim the incident occurred towards the beginning of a Norwegian Cruise Lines trip last May. Apparently, it all sparked from a disagreement Robert Gaines had with a crew member regarding reservations to one of the ship’s shows.

Gaines admits that things did get heated. He claims that he made reservations for the show, but his name wasn’t on the list. When the worker refused to let him in, Gaines wasn’t happy. ”I said 'Listen you idiot, I'm telling you right now that my family is in the show,” he told NBC 6 in Miami. “Why are you keeping me out of the show?”

Gaines claims, “They started calling security and I may have made a comment that said you better get more than a couple because I'm a big guy. They were really scaring me.”

While the incident ended without any physical altercation, Gaines provided a statement to security. The next morning, however, he claims that a security officer showed up at his cabin. He was informed that the captain decided that Gaines would have to disembark on the island of Tortola.

According to Gaines, he wasn’t even given a chance to argue the decision with the captain. Gaines was then forced to spend hundreds of dollars to get home, NBC 6 reports.
