Security Concerns Delay Cruise Ship
- Share via
The Coast Guard stopped a Royal Caribbean cruise ship from coming into Miami while it swept the port after finding a security breach in the Port of Miami’s passenger terminal.
The three-hour delay reflected heightened security at airports and ports around the country since four passenger planes were hijacked Tuesday.
The Coast Guard said an open door was discovered leading to secure areas late Saturday. Officers conducted a security sweep overnight.
The Voyager of the Seas, which can carry 3,114 passengers, was set to depart from Miami later Sunday.
