Princess News & Princess Chatter / Carnival’s Princess Cruise Lines Must Face Passengers’ COVID-19 Lawsuit

Carnival’s Princess Cruise Lines Must Face Passengers’ COVID-19 Lawsuit
By Robert Burnson
InsuranceJournal
November 24, 2020
Carnival Corp.’s Princess Cruise Lines Ltd. failed to persuade a judge
to dismiss negligence claims by 17 passengers who allege they suffered
COVID-19 symptoms after being exposed to the coronavirus on a February
voyage.
Monday’s ruling doesn’t address the merits of the lawsuit but it may
give plaintiffs momentum after legal experts predicted virus cases
against cruise companies would be difficult to win. Federal judges
previously have sided with Carnival in decisions dismissing suits.
U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner in Los Angeles concluded that 17 of
18 passengers made legally sufficient allegations to proceed — even
though they were never tested for the virus, as was commonplace in the
early days of the pandemic. They’re seeking punitive damages that
could add up to millions of dollars.
The one passenger dropped from the case only reported experiencing
“fatigue and extreme anxiety.” The others claimed they developed
“symptoms consistent with COVID-19” after coming into contact with
passengers on the ship who had or appeared to have the disease.
The Grand Princess left San Francisco for Hawaii on Feb. 21. Among the
passengers were 62 who had been on the ship’s prior cruise to Mexico,
including two with symptoms of coronavirus. The cruise line knew this
yet failed to inform the new passengers, who might have chosen to skip
the voyage, according to the suit.
In July, the judge dismissed 14 consolidated suits making emotional
distress claims on behalf of passengers who were in close contact with
others on the ship infected by the virus.
Princess Cruises didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment
after regular business hours.

Princess News & Princess Chatter / Sun and Sea Princess have been sold
« on: September 22, 2020, 12:06:06 PM »
2 ships to leave Princess Cruises fleet
By Richard Tribou
Orlando Sentinel
Sep 22, 2020 at 7:47 AM
The coronavirus pandemic has forced another cruise line to sell its
ships as Princess Cruises announced both the Sun Princess and Sea
Princess were leaving its fleet.
The announcement is the latest from cruise lines that offload older
hardware that cannot sail as efficiently as newer, larger ships and
would not be as profitable when cruise lines effort their return to
sailing with reduced capacity to battle the spread of COVID-19.
Princess Cruises' parent company Carnival Corp. announced earlier in
September that it intended to sell or scrap 18 ships from among its
multiple brands. Already announced were the scrapping of four older
Carnival Cruise Line ships and the sale of four older Holland America
ships.
The two Princess ships were sold to undisclosed buyers, according to a
company press release. While they both had once served the North
American market and sailed from Florida’s Port Everglades, that had
since migrated to Australia.
“Both ships defined the premium cruise experience with Australians and
New Zealanders spending close to 14 million nights aboard these
ships," said Princess Cruises president Jan Swartz. "While it is never
easy to say goodbye to any ship in our fleet, this will allow us to
deploy newer ships enhancing our offerings for Australia cruisers and
focus on bringing into service exciting newbuilds like the upcoming
delivery of Enchanted Princess.”
Customers booked on either ship’s itineraries, which ran into late
2021, will be offered a refund or opportunity to rebook on another
Princess ship.
Sun Princess debuted in 1995, the first of the line’s Sun Class with
about a 2,000-passenger capacity and weighing 77,441 gross tons. It
migrated to Australia in 2007 and also was used by the line in its
foray into the Japanese market in 2013.
Sister ship Sea Princess debuted in 1998, but actually left the
company for Carnival Corp.'s British line P&O Cruises by 2003, but
Princess reacquired the ship in 2005.
There were four ships in the Sun Class, and with these two now sold,
Princess Cruises has no ship in that class, having previously sold off
Dawn Princess and Ocean Princess.
In comparison, the line’s newest ship, Sky Princess, comes in at
145,281 gross tons and has a 3,660-passenger capacity based on double
occupancy.
The cruise line still has 16 ships in its fleet and four more on order.
The cruise line, which was at the center of two coronavirus outbreaks
in early 2020, has suspended sailing through mid-December. The deadly
outbreak on Diamond Princess that was quarantined in Japan back in
February was among the incidents that led to the global shut down of
cruise lines in March.

"After the nation's top disease response agency posted orders keeping cruise ships docked last Wednesday night, extending the ban through August, the White House Coronavirus Task Force stepped in to cut it by 20 days.
When the no-sail order reappeared on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website hours later, its language had been softened: Ships can sail again in July, and an explicit warning that they could be docked even longer had been deleted, according to emails and internal documents obtained by USA TODAY.
