The MSC Poesia resumed service earlier this week after a cruise was canceled in early November due to a regulatory issue.
Sailing roundtrip from PortMiami, the 2,550-passenger ship is currently offering a voyage to the Eastern Caribbean.
The ten-night itinerary features six destinations in the region, including Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas, Philipsburg in St. Maarten and St. John’s in Antigua.
Before returning to Florida, the vessel is also scheduled to visit Basseterre in St. Kitts, San Juan in Puerto Rico and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.
MSC Cruises cancelled the previous cruise of the MSC Poesia saying that the vessel was facing a regulatory issue.
According to a statement shared at the time, the matter arose as passengers boarded the ship for an 11-night voyage to the Southern Caribbean.
The company said that the situation required a resolution, noting that resources necessary to address it were not readily available at the time.
MSC then decided to cancel the cruise, asking passengers to disembark the ship while it underwent the necessary repairs.
The company reportedly offered a full refund of the original bookings, in addition to a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equal to 100 percent of the fare paid for the cancelled cruise.
Having completed MSC’s first summer season in Alaska earlier this year, the MSC Poesia repositioned to PortMiami in October.
Sailing from South Florida along with the MSC World America, the MSC Seaside and the MSC Meraviglia, the ship is now set to offer a series of ten- and 11-night cruises to destinations in the Southern, Eastern and Western Caribbean.
The seasonal deployment runs through early April, when the 2008-built vessel is scheduled to return to Alaska for a second summer season.
Before arriving in North America this year, the MSC Poesia underwent a major refurbishment at the Palumbo Malta Shipyard in Valletta.
As part of the project, the ship introduced new dining venues, refreshed public areas and MSC’s suite enclave, the Yacht Club.
