latest update says it will sail on time but the people have to get off now.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/24/3648314/royal-princess-set-to-sail-as.htmlThat would suck ROYALLY Princess. They will miss Naples/Pompei , Rome, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), French stop and Barcelona.
I for one would rather they fix it while I sit on her and if they have to skip the French port to get to Barcelona, fine.
I'd be fuming unless they offered a one for one replacement cruise with airfare. Nothing like HALF a Grand Mediterranean.
As I read USATODAY, they get a full refund and 25% credit. I bet that doesn't count airfare unless you boaught thru Princess. I know our last minute deal last year the airfare was more than cruise fare.
I'm fuming for them. I was just reading where Carnival Corp is hurting and this sure don't help on one of there better lines. It seems to me they need to put some spare parts and engineers, mechanics onboard. They run these things like houseboat rentals on a lake where you call for a tow. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
CathyG --- I'd say. you got lucky to get your cruise completed.
