MAN KICKED OFF CRUISE AFTER TURNING HOT TUB INTO A PRIVATE PARTY COZUMEL, MEXICO — Grant Ostella, 39, was removed from the ship's main hot tub and issued a formal warning after crew say he treated the public jacuzzi as his own personal party for over an hour, refusing to let other guests enter. Ostella reportedly brought his own pool noodles from the cabin, five in total he allegedly waved off at least six couples attempting to get in a full frozen drink with umbrella was balanced on the tub's edge the entire time lifeguard says he had to ask Ostella three times to make room for other guests Ostella reportedly told staff the tub was "at capacity" despite clear open space Passengers waiting nearby say the standoff became something of a spectacle, with several guests filming as Ostella continued floating undisturbed, noodles arranged around him like a barricade. "Hot tubs are shared spaces, that's kind of the whole point," said pool deck supervisor Marcus Feeny, 8 years with the cruise line. "He'd basically declared himself captain of eight square feet of water." Ostella was asked to vacate the tub and given a written warning for violating shared-space guidelines, effective for the rest of the sailing. He reportedly requested all five noodles back before leaving, citing that they were "personal property," and staff obliged. Crew say the couples who had been turned away were let in within minutes, and the tub reportedly reached its actual stated capacity for the first time all afternoon. Some men throw parties. Grant threw one in a public hot tub, uninvited guests included, and it lasted exactly as long as staff allowed.
