Tourists who rode out Hurricane Irma on the island of St. Thomas were left stranded after a ship contracted by Marriott Hotels refused to allow non-hotel guests to board.
Naomi Michial Ayala shared a video on Facebook explaining that 30 people were abandoned on the dock when a boat left for San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although the boat had 1,300 open seats and was open to taking people who were not Marriott guests, the hotel chain refused to let them board.
Cody Howard, a professional storm chaser who was shooting footage on the island with a partner, said it was some tourists’ last hope.
