MSC cancels cruise in Miami with Portuguese on board

MSC Cruises has canceled the voyage of the Poesia ship, which was detained by the U.S. Coast Guard in Miami due to a regulatory issue. Over 2,000 passengers, including Portuguese citizen Miguel Santos Costa, are uncertain about their next steps. The company apologized for the disruption and promised full refunds and assistance for returning home. Passengers were informed of the situation but received little clarity on the reasons for the Coast Guard's inspection. The ship, capable of carrying over 3,200 passengers, will require disembarkation by Thursday noon, with meals provided until then.
