Passengers on the MV Explorer cruise ship have been stranded in Belfast for almost three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ship was originally scheduled to depart on 16 March, but it has been delayed several times due to travel restrictions and port closures.

The passengers are now growing increasingly frustrated and anxious as they wait for news of when they will be able to return home. Many of them have already spent thousands of dollars on their cruise and are now facing additional expenses for accommodation and food while they are stranded in Belfast.

The cruise company, CMV, has apologized for the inconvenience and says it is doing everything it can to get the passengers home as soon as possible. However, the company has not yet been able to give a definitive date for when the ship will be able to depart.

In the meantime, the passengers are being offered a variety of activities and excursions to help them pass the time. They have also been given access to the ship's facilities, including the swimming pool, gym, and restaurants.

However, many of the passengers are now starting to feel homesick and are desperate to return home. They are also concerned about the financial implications of being stranded in Belfast for an extended period of time.

The cruise company has said that it will continue to keep the passengers updated on the situation and will provide them with further information as soon as it is available.
