Bahamas Cruise Diverted to New England and Canada Leaves Passengers Feeling "Punked"

The MSC Meraviglia cruise ship, scheduled to sail to the Bahamas, was diverted to New England and Canada due to unseasonable and worsening weather conditions. Passengers were given the option to cancel their trip for a future cruise credit or sail on the new itinerary. Many guests were caught off guard by the last-minute change and had to scramble to find winter clothes. While some tried to make the most of the situation, others expressed disappointment as they had planned for a sunny vacation. Cruise ships often have the right to change ports of call due to weather conditions.
