A “no sail order” has been issued for a Margaritaville at Sea cruise ship docked at the Port of Palm Beach, according to local media.
Margaritaville Paradise was supposed to leave Palm Beach yesterday to head to the Bahamas, but all passengers have now disembarked after the United States Coast Guard issued the order.
During Paradise’s annual certificate of compliance exam, Port State Control officers identified conditions, “which required the ship to stay in port until rectified due to the safety of the crew and passengers”.
Paradise will not sail until the conditions are rectified, the Coast Guard said.
Margaritaville at Sea Chief Executive Officer Oneil Khosa told local media the cruise line is “expeditiously undertaking and managing to ensure the safety of all crew members and guests”.
“The cruise line’s shoreside and shipboard teams are working closely with the United States Coast Guard to quickly address the flagged items and continue sailing on schedule,” he said.
“All guests have disembarked from the ship and have received compensation for the inconvenience.
“We do not anticipate any additional impact to our planned itineraries.”
Margaritaville at Sea was rebranded from Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line late last year through a partnership with Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts (CW 09 Dec 2021), and began sailing earlier this year.
