A luxury cruise ship carrying hundreds of passengers and bound for Miami diverted to the Bahamas on Saturday in order to avoid arrest tied to unpaid fuel bills totaling more than $1.2 million, according to a report.
A spokesperson for Crystal Cruises told The Post that passengers were given accommodations on the ship on Saturday night and that 300 guests were later transferred to Port Everglades.
Elio Pace, a musician who was on board the ship, said on his Facebook page the captain informed passengers that Genting Hong Kong had gone into liquidation and the ship would cease sailing once it reached Miami.
