Sapphire Princess Chatter / One of the two propulsion motors is off line
« Last post by Host Mike on May 13, 2024, 05:56:33 AM »
We are hearing that  the Sapphire speed is down to 15 knots and their itinerary is being revised.  No Ketchikan and no College Fjords so far.  One of the Sapphire's two propulsion motors is off line.  Passengers received a letter saying that Princess is trying to decided how to compensate everyone.  Lexi Brunner, a passenger on the ship, says that even so, they are still having a wonderful time.

Sapphire Princess Chatter / Propulsion issues
« Last post by obendus on May 12, 2024, 10:43:16 PM »
Rumors of a switchgear issue on the starboard propulsion motor, per users on Reddit. Has anyone else heard of these problems? I hate rumors, but rumors are often news that hasn't been picked up by media.

It's been many years since our last Alaskan cruise. I'll bet the towns are really super busy what the ships are in.
