Refuse to be carried in this cruise ship? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this cruise ship?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'refuse to be carried in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "eg QE2" , "that's put in bin" , "bin-bag?" , "Large passenger or cargo ship travelling on regular route" , "Commercial ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
