Margaritaville cruise ship cleared to sail from Port of Palm Beach after 'no sail' order lifted

RIVIERA BEACH — A cruise ship being held at the Port of Palm Beach this week under a "no sail" order received clearance to sail Friday morning after discrepancies found during a safety inspection were resolved, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said.

The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise ship was held at port Wednesday after a recent inspection by Port State Control officers "identified conditions which required the ship to stay in port until rectified due to the safety of crew and passengers," according to statement provided by the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Nicole Groll did not specify what the conditions were.

The Paradise is the first cruise ship from the brand-new line, Margaritaville at Sea, a partnership with the owners of the former Bahamas Cruise Paradise Line and singer Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville hospitality company.

It sails twice a week from the Port of Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island in the Bahamas. The ship embarked on its inaugural sail in May.

It used to be called the Grand Classica.
