Luxury cruise ship remains stuck in Belfast after four months

A luxury round-the-world cruise ship beset with technical delays and docked in rainy Belfast since May finally departed from the Northern Irish capital late Monday, prompting celebration among its passengers.

However, its status remains uncertain after the ship got only a few miles out of the city before having to anchor due to a paperwork issue.

The Odyssey residential cruise ship had undergone repairs for engine trouble in drydock at Belfast's Harland & Wolff, the famed shipyard where the doomed Titanic was built more than a hundred years ago.
