MSC Poesia has resumed service after a cruise was cancelled in early November due to a regulatory issue. The 2,550-passenger ship is currently offering a ten-night voyage to the Eastern Caribbean from PortMiami. The itinerary features six destinations including Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas, Philipsburg in St. Maarten and St. John’s in Antigua.

MSC Cruises cancelled the previous cruise after a regulatory matter arose as passengers boarded for an 11-night voyage to the Southern Caribbean. The company reported the situation required a resolution and resources were not readily available. MSC decided to cancel the cruise and asked passengers to disembark while the ship underwent repairs.

MSC offered a full refund and a Future Cruise Credit equal to 100pc of the fare paid. The MSC Poesia repositioned to PortMiami in October after completing MSC’s first summer season in Alaska. The seasonal deployment runs through early April when the 2008-built vessel returns to Alaska.

MSC Cruises shared “The situation required a resolution, noting that resources necessary to address it were not readily available at the time.”
