Critic writes: Early this morning the Royal
experienced a significant water leak in the Sabitini's on the 10th
deck. Water leaked all the way down to the crew quarters. The panorama
buffet, sabitini's are all closed. Food service this am so far
consisted of luke warm instant coffee put out near the hamburger site
on the pool deck. Crew is scrambling to set up deck five main dining
room for breakfast. No announcements yet. So early risers are stumbling
to figure out what is going on. no access to deck 10 whatsoever -
crewmen posted at all stairs and elevators. A bit later the some
p[erson writes: Announcement from ships's officer. Water break was
a fire hose fitting in Sterling steak house. All closed UFN. Elite
breakfast cancelled, English Pub lunch cancelled. All activities on
deck 10 aft cancelled UFN. Only dining is in main dinning room. "Sorry
ladies and gentlemen but these things sometimes happen." We heared a
loud bang at around 0500 in our cabin. Sounded like someone had dropped
something heavy onto the deck above. |

Cruise Critic reports a fire broke out in the engine room at 8:10 p.m. local time on Thursday as the ship was departing from Port Said, Egypt. A statement from Princess says that passengers aboard were called to their muster stations and fire teams were deployed. All 733 passengers and 393 crewmembers have been accounted for, and there have been no resulting injuries onboard the ship, which is currently in the middle of a 12-night Holy Land sailing from Rome to Athens. Royal Princess is currently anchored off the coast of Port Said.
Princess spokeswoman Karen Candy said there is no word yet on whether the incident will delay any of the ship's remaining calls in Ashdod (Jerusalem), Haifa, Kusadasi or Patmos Island. The ship is due in Athens on the 25th. UPDATE: Princess Cruises released the following statement: In order to fully assess the impact of the engine fire that occurred earlier this evening, we plan to bring Royal Princess back into Port Said, Egypt tomorrow.
The assessment process includes flying various technical experts and regulatory authorities to the ship for a complete inspection, and they should be arriving onboard by tomorrow evening. So while our own assessment will occur throughout the day tomorrow, we expect the full assessment to be complete on Saturday. This means Royal Princess will be spending Friday and Saturday in Port Said. UPDATE June 19: Princess reports that the current cruise and the next cruise (June 25) will be cancelled because damage is greater than initially thought. Passengers on both voyages will receive a full refund of their fare, plus a future cruise credit equal to 25% of the cruise fare paid for these sailings. |

A
passenger report indicates that the ship collided with the
pier when it was docking, causing an 8 foot rent in the bow of the
vessel and delaying its departure
until repairs were completed. Mykonos was skipped as a result;
Rhodes was missed earlier in the cruise because of sea conditions.
