MSC Cruises Says “Regulatory Matter” with USCG Caused Cruise Cancelation

MSC Cruises was forced to cancel a scheduled 11-day Caribbean voyage aboard the MSC Poesia after the vessel was detained at PortMiami. The cruise line cited a 'regulatory matter' that required resolution before the ship could depart. The U.S. Coast Guard conducted an inspection of the vessel while it was docked, though they have not disclosed specific details regarding the findings. MSC Cruises apologized to guests for the disruption, noting that they were unable to resolve the regulatory requirements in time to proceed with the scheduled sailing.
