MSC Poesia Caribbean Sailing Canceled Following USCG Regulatory Issue
MSC Cruises GoCompareCruise Editorial Nov 3, 2026
MSC Cruises was forced to cancel an 11-day Caribbean voyage aboard the MSC Poesia due to an unresolved regulatory matter with the U.S. Coast Guard.
The cancellation occurred after the U.S. Coast Guard conducted an inspection of the vessel while it was docked at PortMiami on Sunday. Despite the cruise line's efforts to cooperate and resolve the situation, they were unable to secure the necessary clearance in time for the scheduled departure. MSC Cruises issued a formal apology to passengers, acknowledging the frustration caused by the sudden change in plans. The ship had previously undergone an extensive renovation in the spring of 2026 to prepare for its current season in South Florida.
