00:00a cruise ship heading to miami had to change course at the last minute after a judge issued
00:08an arrest warrant for the ship due to unpaid bills if the crystal symphony had continued course to
00:17miami it would have been seized by authorities so when it found out it headed to the bahamas
00:24instead it's on the run i'm on a cruise that's on the run right that's the craziest thing why can't
00:31they get it the ship is still docked in the bahamas today this all began the other day when a gas
00:40company filed a lawsuit in south florida against crystal cruises alleging that it owed them unpaid
00:47fuel bills totaling over 4.6 million that's a lot so a judge issued an arrest warrant ahead of the
00:56ship's scheduled saturday arrival in miami meaning the ship would be seized by a u.s marshal
01:01as soon as it got into port 300 passengers had to be transferred by ferry from the bahamas to port
