Sun Princess Chatter / Re: Sun Princess isn't a floating retirement village by any means

We have a b2b2b booked for the fall, in an Oceanview cabin. From what I've seen of the amenities for this cabin, it's quite pleasant.
I will be exploring like a kid on the new ship... looking forward to this cruise immensely.

Sapphire Princess Chatter / Re: Propulsion issues

This must be a large disappointment for passengers on this voyage. Perhaps this will impact many future cruises on the Sapphire. These things do happen, and hopefully repairs are effected quickly.

Caribbean Princess Chatter / Re: Caribbean Princess seeks shelter while visiting Falmouth

Is that an odd photograph, or does anyone else see a particularly noticeable bend in the exterior balcony floors? Looks to be through all floors from deck 7 upward, about where the 600 series of cabins changes to the 700's, and does appear to include Horizon Court. It 'must' be the photograph.  :-\

Caribbean Princess Chatter / Caribbean Princess seeks shelter while visiting Falmouth
« Last post by Host Mike on May 16, 2024, 12:34:41 PM »
"Visitors to a tiny beach in Cornwall were greeted with the surreal sight of a giant 113,000 tonnes cruise ship today (Thursday, May 16). Too big to dock in the harbour, the 952ft Caribbean Princess dropped its anchor off a small cove on the Roseland peninsula, using St Anthony Head to shelter from strong south-easterly winds whilst it tendered its passengers to Falmouth."

"With the headland offering some shelter from the south-easterly winds, the cruise ship was guided into position and dropped anchor."

Sapphire Princess Chatter / Re: Propulsion issues
« Last post by Host Mike on May 16, 2024, 08:14:25 AM »
MarineTraffic.com reports that Sapphire Princess is currently sailing at 13 knots.  Ship bridge camera description says Sapphire Princess is now bound for Whittier.  Previous schedule said that they will dock on Saturday.  It appears that Glacier Bay and College Fjord could be now off the schedule. We've heard that passengers will receive a big part of their fare refunded along with a large FCC.
