- The U.S. Coast Guard detained the cruise ship MSC Poesia in Miami, and the detention led to the cancellation of an 11-night Caribbean cruise, according to a report by Fox News.

Fox News reported that the Coast Guard identified "significant deficiencies" before the ship was detained. The outlet said the detention stranded more than 2,000 cruise passengers. Its headline described the cancellation as abrupt.

The report said an attorney commented on the situation. The summary does not identify the attorney, name the attorney's client, or describe what the attorney said, so this account does not characterize those comments.

The report did not specify the nature of the deficiencies the Coast Guard identified. It also did not state when the detention began or when passengers were expected to leave the ship or travel home. It did not describe any statement from the ship's operator, which the summary does not name.

This account draws on a single report from one outlet, based on the headline, summary, and publication details available for this story. Fox News listed no author for the piece, and the report was published on November 7, 2026. Accounts from other outlets were not reviewed, so the details above may differ from or add to what other reporting has said.

Further detail on the deficiencies, the attorney's comments, and passenger arrangements was not available in the material reviewed for this story.
