A curious episode that saw the Crystal Symphony cruise ship of the Crystal Cruises company at the center: headed for Miami, the boat had to suddenly change its route to the Bahamas and after a US judge issued a seizure warrant for the boat due to unpaid fuel bills to Peninsula Petroleum Far East.

According to the judges, Crystal Cruises has accumulated an unpaid fuel bill debt of over $ 4.6 million, of which $ 1.2 million in particular for the Crystal Symphony.

If the ship had touched the port of Miami, therefore, it would have been blocked by the authorities, and so the captain decided to change the planned itinerary.

For the hundreds of passengers on board a completely unexpected "unscheduled", which many took with irony even joking on social networks about a "kidnapping" of pirates.

Some of them were then taken by ferry to Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale, others to local airports.
