## Key points

- Coast Guard detained the MSC Poesia in Miami over onboard system deficiencies.
- MSC cancelled the 11-night Caribbean sailing and promised full refunds.
- More than 2,000 passengers faced disrupted holidays and onward travel.

## Summary

The US Coast Guard detained the MSC Poesia in Miami after finding deficiencies in systems aboard the ship, forcing MSC Cruises to cancel its 11-night Caribbean voyage. The detention matters because the Coast Guard considered the issues serious enough to prevent the ship from departing, and passengers were left with disrupted travel plans.

More than 2,000 people were reportedly aboard when the ship was detained. The voyage had been due to leave Miami on 1 November and return on 12 November, with stops in six countries; MSC said guests would receive full refunds and help getting home. A maritime attorney said passengers could make individual claims, but the cruise line’s booking terms bar class-action lawsuits.
