According to a CBS News report, Coast Guard officials said the cruise ship MSC Poesia is currently detained at the Port of Miami, with passengers on board, and that its itinerary is on hold.

CBS News reported that the ship is in this status, describing it as "detained with passengers on board." The summary did not say what led to the detention, how many passengers and crew are aboard, when the itinerary could resume, or how long the detention has lasted.

The CBS News report credits the information to Coast Guard officials but does not name any official, cite a written statement, or specify when the officials provided the information. The report's author line is blank in the material used for this story.

CBS News reported nothing in the summary about any response from the ship's operator, its next port of call, or notices to passengers. The headline of the report frames the detention as the account of officials rather than of a named agency statement.

Because the account rests on a single report that relies on unnamed Coast Guard officials, the details above are presented as CBS News reported them and have not been independently confirmed for this story. No other outlet's coverage of the detention appears in the material available for it.
